In the present study a histological
approach and the measurement of water-related parameters
have been performed in order to obtain an insight
into the origin of this phenotype. Clear differences between
transgenic and non-transgenic roots were observed in the
cross-sections of the basal root zones where secondary growth
was evident.The work reported in this paper was supported
