Analysis of the plant-growth-promoting ability of TvHSP70-OE engineered and WT strains under heat stress and normal conditions. (a) Germination phenotype, (b) germination rate and (c) radicle length of cucumber seeds. (d) Changes in the phenotypic characters of the shoots and roots of cucumber seedlings. (e) Root length, (f) leaf length, (g) leaf width and (h) stem diameter of cucumber seedlings. CK: cucumber treated with sterile water. + Wild-type Tv-1511: cucumber treated with the original WT strain of T. viride Tv‑1511. + TvHSP70-OE Tv-1511: cucumber treated with TvHSP70-OE engineered strains of T. viride Tv‑1511. Data are presented as mean ± S.E. of triplicate experiments; Columns with different letters indicate significant differences at P < 0.05 (Duncan’s test)
