Role of Ascorbate in the Regulation of the Arabidopsis thaliana Root Growth by Phosphate Availability

Figure 5

Effect of phosphate availability and ascorbate concentration on the root hair length and density of Arabidopsis wild-type (Col 0) and vtc1 mutant seedlings. Wild-type seedlings were cultured on media supplemented with varying concentrations of ASC or on ascorbate—free media (control). Seedlings of vtc1 mutant were cultured on ascorbate—free media. The length is the mean (±SD) of 50 root hairs, root hair density (mean ±SD) was determined on 25 roots. Asterisk indicates significant differences from the control at 𝑃 < 0 . 0 5 .
