Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Without aluminium, calcium from 500 to 2000 μM had little effect on root growth or root hair development.
- Intervention effect At 2 μM aluminium species and 500 μM calcium, taproot elongation and lateral root development were suppressed.
- Intervention effect With aluminium, the root hair zone was 10% of that without aluminium.
- Observation Scanning electron microscopy showed low root hair density under aluminium.
