The Effects of Cation Ratios on Root Lamella Suberization in Rice (Oryza sativa L.) with Contrasting Salt Tolerance

Table 3

The salt composition effect on root length, root tips, root-shoot ratio, and water content of shoot. The same letter in each column is not significant at 5% level of probability.
