Effects of Various types of stress on the growth of maize.

<p>(A) Average primary root length for seedlings transferred to different treatments. Measurements are expressed as a percentage of the length under standard conditions (n>100 seedlings). (B) Average fresh weight for seedlings transferred to different treatments. Measurements are expressed as a percentage of the weight under standard conditions (n>100 seedlings). (C) Average dry weight for seedlings transferred to different treatments. Measurements are expressed as a percentage of the weight under standard conditions (n>100 seedlings). (D) Chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b contents are measured under different abiotic stresses relative to standard condition in maize seedlings. Bars indicate Standard Error (SE). * <i>p</i><0.05 as compared with standard group.
