Figure 3

The loss of plasma membrane integrity (PMI) in the root tips of both chickpea cultivars, (A) Pusa 2085 and (B) Pusa Green 112 grown under hydroponics conditions for 7 days in the presence of different levels of glycine betaine (GB) and chromium (Cr): 0 and 120 µM Cr and 120 µM Cr + 100 mM (GB). Microscopic images of the roots from stressed and non-stressed plants stained with Evans blue. (C,D) Evans blue score in the root tips. The generated data values are shown as the mean 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).
