Quantification and characterization of symbiotic cells per protocorm. a The number of symbiotic cells per symbiotic protocorm at one to four weeks after seeding. Error bar represents the standard error of the mean for ten protocorms. b Symbiotic cells with hyphal coils at the Early, Middle, and Late stages. Scale bars, 50 μm. c Ratio of the number of symbiotic cells at each stage in a symbiotic protocorm. Each value represents the average number of symbiotic cells in ten protocorms. The experiment was repeated three times with similar results
