MC promotes dynamic growth of cotton roots. MC treated seeds increases the primary root length (a), the total length (b) and total number (c) of lateral roots, the BZL/PL ratio (d), and the lateral root number within 5 cm from the base of primary roots (e). Cotton seeds of K638 were treated with deionised water (Control) or 400 mg/L MC for 12 h. The dynamic growth of root systems were monitored by using RhizoChamber-Monitor and were quantified by using the customized image processing software. Significant differences were assessed by standard t-tests (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001). 3 replicates per treatment, 3 plants per replicate, a total of 9 seeds per treatment
