Relative abundance of Al in root cap and root elongation region of TAS and SAS plants, detected by energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS).
| Cultivars | Condition | Aluminum Quantification–by EDS* | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Root Cap | Root Elongation | ||
| TAS | Control | 0.46 ± 0.02 | 0.22 ± 0.02 |
| Treatment | 1.76 ± 0.03 ** | 0.44 ± 0.02 ** | |
| SAS | Control | 0.41 ± 0.02 | 0.05 ± 0.02 |
| Treatment | 1.37 ± 0.03 ** | 0.45 ± 0.02 ** | |
* Values represent the average of the relative abundances (%) for all collection sites ± standard errors. ** Indicates significant difference between control and treatment (Tukey’s tests, p ≤ 0.01).
