  1. Seeds were germinated and grown in hydroponic growth medium supplemented with 20 μM AlCl3 (pH 4.3) for 7 days. Data are mean root length (mm) ± s.d. (n = 10). Letters represent groups with significant differences in root length (P ≤ 0.05) as determined by Fisher’s least significant difference (LSD) test.
