Figure: Cyclosis/Expansion Wave Mechanism for Microbe Expulsion from Root Hairs in Rhizophagy Cycle

“This figure illustrates the ‘cyclosis/expansion wave model’ for expulsion of microbes from tips of plant root hairs. The model is based on filming of cyclosis within, and ejection of microbes from root hairs of seedlings of several species of plants (including Poa annua, Festuca arundinacea, Tritichum aestivum and Solanum esculentum).”
