Effects of Al on vesicles in epidermis cells. Five-day-old seedlings of WT and OX1 were exposed to 0 or 50 μM AlCl3 for 6h. Roots were transversely sectioned at 0.5mm from the apexes. (A) Section of WT without Al treatment. (B) Section of WT with Al treatment. (C) Section of OX1 with Al treatment. (D) Weight percentages of Al, osmium (Os), and lead (Pb) in different vesicles. Va, vesicle A; Vb, vesicle B; Vc, vesicle C. Data are means±SE (n=3). Different letters in the same column indicate a significant difference (P<0.05, Tukey’s test).
