The Infection of Clover Root Hairs by Nodule Bacteria Studied by a Simple Glass Slide Technique
Abstract
SUMMARY: A simple glass slide technique has been devised for the continuous microscopical observation of growth and infection of root hairs of clover seedlings. The method involves an aseptic cultivation of seedlings on microscope slides which are partly immersed in a mineral salts medium. The roots are protected by a cover-slip. By this procedure, the root hairs of white clover inoculated with nodule bacteria were studied. The earliest infection was observed to take place within 48 hr. of inoculation, on 4-day-old seedlings. In branched hairs the growth of the thread from a lateral branch towards the hair tip is tentatively explained as an effect of the position of the hair nucleus relative to the site of infection.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
