AL-PCD morphology in root hairs or Medicago truncatula, Zea mays and Quercus robur. (A) Root hair of Medicago truncatula 24 hr after a 10 min heat shock at 55°C; (B) Root hair of Zea mays 6 hr after a 10 min heat shock at 55°C; (C) Root hair of Quercus robur 6 hr after a 10 min heat shock at 55°C. In all three species (A-C) retraction and condensation of the cytoplasm is observed and root hairs stained negative for FDA indicating the root hairs had undergone AL-PCD. Scalebar: 10 μm.
