Figure 5. H. seropedicae attachment and epiphytic colonization of maize roots.
H. seropedicae SmR1+pHC60 (GFP- wild type) and EPSEB+pHC60 (GFP- epsB mutant) strains were inoculated on maize, and immediately after inoculation (A) or 7 days after inoculation (B), longitudinal samples of the roots were analyzed by laser scan confocal microscopy. Legends under the figures show positioning coordinates of the tridimensional images.
