Abstract
The treated seeds can grow in medium or bulk soil to determine the impact of novel materials on plants.
Guidelines
Seed treatment of arabidopsis seeds is a suitable, simple method for many plant-microbe interactions.
Materials
Arabidopsis thaliana seeds (Col-0)
50% Bleach
Distilled water
Safety warnings
The only harmful chemical is 50% bleach. Please make sure ware gloves when in the seed sterile steps.
Before start
Seed priming is an important method that increases the health of the plant.
