Combined effects of excess boron and salinity on root histology of Zea mays L. amylacea from the Lluta Valley (Arica, Chile)

Cell structure and alterations in tissue organization were analyzed for roots of Zea mays L. amylacea as a consequence of high salinity and boron (B) levels. Saline treatment concentrations were 100 mM NaCl (Low salinity, L) and 430 mM NaCl (High salinity, H). An excess of B was supplied as boric ac...
