Figure 2. Representative time-lapse photos of rice growth and development.

Figure 2

NS (left panel) and S (SaltSym; right panel) rice seedlings (N = 3) were photographed every 20 min over a ten-day period. Sterilized, imbibed rice seeds were inoculated with fungal spore solutions (S) or mock-inoculated (NS) for 48 hours on water agar plates until seed germination occurred. Three S and NS seedlings were randomly chosen and imbedded into the silica sand layer on top of the vertical plant growth apparatus, and the time-lapse photography initiated (identified as time point t = 0). Zero, three, six and ten day time points are represented by t = 0, t = d3, t = d6, and t = d10, respectively.
