3.1. Plant exposure to A. ovalisporum cell extracts for 48 h
Fresh weight and dry weight of rice roots and leaves were
measured after 48 h of exposure to extracts of A. ovalisporum in
order to assess possible changes in this parameter. A significant
increase in root fresh weight was registered upon plant exposure
to the cyanobacterial cell extract (Fig. 1a). However, no observable
macroscopic changes were observed.
