T. articulata seedlings taken from different treatments at 5 weeks. Note the difference between the control plant and inoculated plants: brown to black lesion with collar-constricted stem on the Rs sample; stem canker, general wilting and rotted root on the Fs sample, stunting and rotted roots on the RsFs sample. Contrary to the control plant, all inoculated seedlings showed a lack of fine roots.
