Cut and paste cotyledon micrografting (cot-grafting). a The general procedure of cotyledon micrografting: first, one cotyledon was cut from a donor plant. A second cut alongside the central leaf vein created a flat contact surface for optimal positioning (donor cotyledon surgery). Both cotyledons of the recipient plant were cut off (recipient plant surgery). The donor cotyledon was then transplanted to the recipient plant. Black dashed lines indicate cutting edges. A successfully grafted plant 7 days (b) and 31 days after surgery (c). The arrows mark graft junctions. Scale bars correspond to 500 μm (b) and 1 mm (c), respectively
