CSLM Control plants and plants inoculated with Trichoderma sp. T154::tdTom3 (arrowhead) after 6 weeks. (A) Parenchyma zone without any sign of fluorescence. (B) Inoculation point showing different tissues free of fungi. (C) Xylem zone and occlusion close to the injured zone without any sign of fluorescent fungi. (D, E) Inoculation point colonized by spores and its 3D modelling identifying clearly all spores. (F) Zoom of the previous picture for showing a big group of Trichoderma sp. T154::tdTom3 alive spores dispersed randomly inside tissues. (G, H) Inside dead tissues is possible to identify Trichoderma sp. T154::tdTom3 mycelium. (I) Xylem section showing spores of Trichoderma sp. T154::TdTom3 inside it. Fib.: fibers, Inoc. point: inoculation point, Metaxyl.: metaxylem, xyl.:xylem. Representative pictures of biological replicates (12) are presented in this figure.
