Figure 4From: The interaction of Arabidopsis with Piriformospora indica shifts from initial transient stress induced by fungus-released chemical mediators to a mutualistic interaction after physical contact of the two symbionts Phytohormone levels in roots and leaves of Arabidopsis seedlings after exposure to P. indica for two or six days. The roots and shoots of the seedlings were harvested at day 0, 2 and 6 after exposure to the P. indica plug or an agar plug without mycelium. SA, ABA, JA, cis-OPDA and JA-Ile levels were determined. The values are means ± SEs of 4 independent biological experiments with 5 replications in each experiment.Back to article page
