Phenotype characteristics of maize plants of the Q319 line cultured in SP and LP nutrient solutions. Q319 maize seedlings cultured in the SP or LP solution at different time points: (A) 0 d, (B) 3 d and (C) 8 days, and the length (D) and growth rate (E) of maize primary roots in the SP and LP nutrient solutions. Numbers of lateral root primordia (F) and lateral roots (G); lateral root primordia subjected to Feulgen staining (H, I); and paraffin sections of the LRZ of roots (J) in the SP and LP solutions.
