The effect of MC on morphology of the LRP in cotton roots. a to b Longitudinal sections of roots from the region 1.5–2.0 cm behind the root tip in control (a) and MC-treated (b) seedlings at 42 h after treatment. The LR initiation was observed in MC-treated seedlings. c to d Morphology of the LRP from the region 0.5–1.0 cm behind the root base at 2 and 3 d after treatment in control (c, e) and MC-treated (d, f) seedlings. Bar = 50 μm. E: endoderm; P, pericycle; X, xylem. The arrow points to the nucleus of cell dividing
