Figure 5

Scanning electron microscopy, (a) cross section of root under control (LM22) at magnification of ×200 and scale bar 100 µm showing meta xylem and xylem of larger diameter and visible aerenchyma, (b) root of the treated plant with PEG 6000 at magnification of ×200 and scale bar 100 µm showing decrease in the size of vessels. (c) Cross section area of root under control (CML494) at ×180 and scale bar 100 µm showing larger diameter of meta xylem and xylem, (d) root of the treated plant (PEG 6000) representing higher reduction in number of meta xylem and xylem along with diameter.
