From: Progressive drought alters architectural and anatomical traits of rice roots
Effects of drought stress on anatomy of nodal roots of four rice cultivars grown under well-watered (WW) and drought-stressed (DS) conditions. Basal segments were sampled from 20 cm from the root base and apical segments were sampled 10 cm from the root tips. a cross section area; b stele area; c number of late metaxylem vessels; d theoretical axial conductance. Values shown are means of three replications ± SE. Means with the same letter are not significantly different according to Tukey’s Honest Significant Differences (HSD) test (P ≤ 0.05)
