Representative EDXMA spectra from electron-dense
deposits in cell walls (A–C) and vacuoles (D–H) of root-tip (0–1.5
mm) cells after 4-h (A, B, E, and F) and 24-h treatments (C, D, G, and
H). A, D, and E are from control plants and B, C, F, G, and H are from
Al-treated plants. All spectra are from glutaraldehyde-fixed samples,
except D and H, which are from PA-stained samples. All spectra are
printed at 1000 counts. Au is from the grid.
