Suppression of dry2 Shoot (Scion) Defects by Wild-Type and dry2/sud1-1 Rootstocks.
A total of 20 viable plants per graft combination were analyzed, and a representative plant per combination is depicted after 18 d of growth in soil. Bottom panels show the plants after soil removal to visualize the root phenotype. Bar = 2 cm.
(A)
dry2 shoot (scion) recovers the wild -type phenotype when grafted onto wild-type Ler rootstock. Self-grafted wild-type (Ler) and dry2 were used as controls.
(B)
dry2 shoot (scion) recovers the wild-type phenotype when grafted onto dry2/sud1-1 rootstock. Self-grafted dry2/sud1-1 and dry2 were used as controls.
