Note. SE: standard error, W: watering treatment, I: inoculation, N: normal watering, MD: medium drought, SD: severe drought. LL/HT: lesion length/seedling height, OL/HT: occlusion length/seedling height, FRY: fine root dry biomass, GH: Grosmannia huntii, LT: Leptographium terebrantis, W: wound, and WM: wound + media. Different letters indicate Tukey pair-wise differences between all inoculations and watering treatments within each variable at α = 0.05.
