Pinus taeda roots inoculated with Suillus decipiens at Duke University, North Carolina, United States - P9_SD/PT_G2_Com
Root tips of Pinus seedling
USA: North Carolina
Pinus taeda and Suillus decipiens is a compatible interaction pair. The seeds of Pinus taeda were collected from Georgia. Healthy pine seedlings were grown in phytotron condition. Spores of ectomycorrhizal fungi Suillus decipiens were collected from North Carolina. For analysis, root tips were collected at the third stage of inoculation (G2) – short roots (bifurcated root tips) begin to swell in size and the mycelium on the surface of the root becomes thicker, forming a hyphal sheath (mantle), fungal hyphae begin to colonize the intercellular spaces of epidermal and cortical cells forming the Hartig-net.
