Figure 4From: Perception of soft mechanical stress in Arabidopsis leaves activates disease resistanceIntegrity of epidermal cells after SMS treatment visualised by SEM. (A) Surfaces of leaves of A. thaliana Col0 were observed by SEM after SMS (10×). (B) Damage to trichomes after SMS (10×) compared to non-treated leaves. (C) Surfaces of leaves of the glabrous mutant gl1 of A. thaliana Col0 observed by SEM after SMS (10×). All observations of this figure were repeated 25 times on 5 different leaves. Representative samples are shown.Back to article page
