Root cap structure and cell production rates of maize (Zea mays) roots in compacted sand

•  To assess the influence of mechanical impedance on cell fluxes in the root cap, maize (Zea mays) seedlings were grown in either loose or compacted sand with penetration resistances of 0.2 MPa and 3.8 MPa, respectively. Numbers of cap cells were estimated using image analysis, and cell doubling ti...
