Figure 1From: An efficient flat-surface collar-free grafting method for Arabidopsis thaliana seedlingsCutting surface used for Arabidopsis seedlings. Arabidopsis seedlings are placed in a plate containing a thin layer of 1% agarose. The hypocotyl is positioned just above a “well” that has been left after removing a narrow block from the agarose layer. Cotyledons and root remain in the agarose layer, which avoids drying of the seedling while the hypocotyl can be cut dry and supported by a hard surface.Back to article page
