Rumor Has It…: Relay Communication of Stress Cues in Plants
Figure 4
Plant performance following stress induction and the perception of communicated stress cues.
Total plant dry biomass (A) and root dry biomass (B) of induced plants (pointed at by black arrows) and their SHARED (T1–T5) and UNSHARED (C1–C5) neighbours, 14 days after one of the roots of the IND plant was injected with either water (blue) or mannitol (red). Data represent means ±1 s.e.m.; N = 5. *: p<0.05; +: 0.05<p<0.1.
