DIC micrographs of the Heterodera glycines lateral epidermis following infection. a DIC micrograph (left) and shaded overlay (right) of J2 2 days post-infection (DPI) illustrating a line of elliptical smoothly tapered seam cells along the lateral ridge. Cartoon of J2 (below) showing approximate position of seam cells (red) along the lateral epidermis. b DIC micrograph (left), shaded overlay (right), and cartoon schematic (below) of J2 seam cells two DPI, c DIC micrograph (left), shaded overlay (right), and cartoon schematic (below) of J2 seam cells three DPI, showing the change in shape and division of seam cells following infection. The timeline of individuals dissected on the same day was inferred based on examination of multiple individuals. Scale bars, 10 µm
