Effects of Al stress on root growth of hydroponically grown tea plants. a Two-year old tea plant seedlings of the same genetic background were cultivated hydroponically in SK-medium containing 0.4 mM Al2(SO4)3. The seedlings were treated 0 mM Al or 5 mM Al for the effects of growth. b Contents of Ca and Mg in the roots of tea plant seedlings under 0, 0.4, and 2.5 mM Al stress for different times measured by ICP-MS. c Imaging of Al accumulation in root tips of tea plant seedlings. The Al-specific fluorescence dye morin was used for imaging. The representative photos shown are from three independent experiments. Data are presented as means ± SD from three independent experiments and statistical significance is based on Student’s t-test (*P < 0.05; ** P < 0.001) compared with controls
