Fig. 4: PMH facilitates the colonization of PGPRs within the plant root system.
From: Rhizobacteria protective hydrogel to promote plant growth and adaption to acidic soil
a–g Fluorescence images show the amount of C5 colonized in the primary roots (a), the lateral roots (c) the different stages of lateral root primordia (e), and the lateral root transverse sections (g) of Brassica napus treated with GFP-C5 or GFP-C5-loaded PMH. b, d, f and h Relative fluorescence intensity of the primary roots (b) the lateral roots (d) the different stages of lateral root primordia (f), and the lateral root transverse sections (h) which suggest that PMH assists PGPRs enrichment inside the plant root system. a–e were created by figdraw.com. The error bars in (b–h) are the SD of 3 plants per biological repeat (n = 3). Statistically significant differences between the means were analyzed with two-tailed Student’s t-test in (b–h).
