Dataset of Endophytic bacterial inoculation enhances survival and photosynthetic performance of the halophyte Halocnemum strobilaceum seedlings

This experiment is part of the project ‘Analysis of the contribution of endophytic bacteria to the tolerance mechanisms of halophytes against salinity and climate change (PID2021-124750NB-I00)’. This work analyzes the germination and seedling performance of the halophyte Halocnemum strobilaceum grown under five treatments: a non-inoculated control, three bacterial strains (TE3, TE11, and TE14) individually, and a bacterial consortium (TE3+TE11+TE14). Seed germination, seedling growth, and chlorophyll-a fluorescence kinetics were measured throughout the experiment, which was carried out from January to April 2025.
