  1. a Number and length of root hairs on seminal root measured after 24 h FA treatment; other characters were determined on seedlings after 3-day FA treatment. Data are mean ± SD.
  2. b Number of root hairs from one side of 1-mm sections at the root hair zone (3–4 mm behind the root tip) on seminal roots. Data are mean of 10 seedlings.
  3. c Length of the 20 longest root hairs from the root hair zone of each seminal root. Data represent the mean of 10 seedlings.
