Figure 1

Chickpea root apex histogram. (A) A median longitudinal section (6 µm) of 3 mm root tip of 6dpg chickpea stained with saffrainin showing structure of root cell division zone. (VC- Vascular cylinder, C- Cortex, eD- Epidermis, CDZ- Cell division zone, RC- Root cap). The root apical meristem (RAM) and the upper cell division zone were shown as magnified images. (B) A comparison of chickpea RAM treated with water, 20% solution of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and 250 mM sodium chloride for 2 hours. (C) Expression level of CYCLINA2, estimated by qRT-PCR, in 2 mm region of root apex and in the same size of tissue above 10 mm of root apex. Chickpea elongation factor 1 α (CaEF1α) was used as internal control. Standard deviations of three replicates were shown.
