Effects of different stress levels of Glycine Betaine (GB) and Chromium (Cr), 0 and 120 μM Cr and 120 μM Cr + 100 mM (GB), on root morphological parameters: (A) root length (cm), (B) root surface area (cm2), (C) root volume (cm3), (D) average root diameter (mm), and (E) number of root tips of the two chickpea cultivars after 7 days of exposure (grown under hydroponics conditions). Generated data values are shown as the means of five replicates ± SE. The error bars indicated by the different letters represent significant differences, as tested by the least significant difference test (p < 0.05).
