Figure 4From: Endophytic fungal association via gibberellins and indole acetic acid can improve plant growth under abiotic stress: an example of Paecilomyces formosus LHL10Light microscopic analysis of cucumber root colonized by P. formosus. The fungus was observed: (a) forming hypha from epidermal region into cortical region; (b) developing in endodermal cells (c) switching to yeast-like cells or conidia in the periclycle region by undergoing morphological changes. H = Hypha; CC = cortex cells; E = endodermal cells; C = conidia or yeast like cells; scale bar 50 μm.Back to article page
