Figure 6

Subcellular localization of Ca2+ (A, B, D, E, G, H, J and K) and subcellular distribution (C, F, I and L) in cucumber roots at 3 d after treatment.

Samples comprised 3 mm of the root tips. (A–C) Cucumber plants grown under normoxic conditions (Control). (D–F) Cucumber plants grown under hypoxic conditions. (G–I) Cucumber plants grown under hypoxia + 4 mM CaCl2 treatment (Hypoxia + Ca2+). (J–L) Cucumber plants grown under hypoxia + 50 μM LaCl3 treatment (Hypoxia + La3+). Arrows indicate Ca2+ ion precipitates in the root cells.
