From: Simulated microgravity facilitates stomatal ingression by Salmonella in lettuce and suppresses a biocontrol agent

Stomatal apertures in lettuce plants with simulated microgravity following co-inoculation with UD1022 and Salmonella (A) maintained vertically as a control (0 RPM) (B) or rotated at 4 RPM. Plants were inoculated with root-treatment of UD0122 and foliar treatment of GFP-labeled Salmonella enterica. Unrotated plants treated with the co-inoculation of S. enterica + UD1022 or S. enterica alone were also imaged for stomatal apertures. Stomatal apertures were imaged with confocal microscopy and aperture size was measured using ImageJ. Letters indicate statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) between treatments. n = 75 stomates per treatment.
