Drought stress (DS) impact on large lateral root (LLR) anatomy of Egypt 1. a Laser Ablation Tomography images of LLR segments sampled at three different locations: apical (2–5 mm from root tip), medial (close to the midpoint of the root), and basal (2–5 mm from point of attachment to nodal root axis). b anatomy of basal segment of LLR after 6 weeks in well-watered (WW) conditions showing lignification of sclerenchyma (sc), inner cortical cells (in. co), and endodermis (en). c model suggesting functions of observed anatomical variation using digitally stained images of Egypt 1. Red color reveals heavy lignin deposition pattern in the stele of the basal segments. Scale bars represent 100 μm
