FIGURE 2.

Seeds of Arabidopsis (Col-0) were germinated and two uniform seedlings of 12 days old were transferred to the diffused plate or partitioned plate and placed 2 cm or 4 cm apart each other (as shown in schematic Figure 1A). At the same time, the donor plants were wounded mechanically and incubated for 8 days. (A) The growth rate of primary root of recipient plant in diffused plate and presented as cm/h (n = 6). (B) The measurement of growth rate of recipient plant in partitioned petri plate (n = 12). (C) Number of lateral roots in recipient plants (n = 12). Asterisks denote significant differences as analyzed by Student’s t-test. ^∗P ≤ 0.05, Student’s two-tailed t-test. Error bar standard error mean.
