The root meristem, the elongation zone, a 10 mm long segment of the differentiation zone, and a 10 mm segment from the middle part of the lateral root formation zone were excised from primary roots of 4-d-old seedlings. Mesocotyls, nodes, coleoptiles, and first leaves were excised from seedlings. Three independent experiments were carried out with five replications each. Mean values ±SE are presented.
