Morphological traits, i.e., the leaf area (LA), specific leaf area (SLA), root length (RL), specific root length (SRL), lateral root number c (root c) and mean rootlet number a (mean a), observed in the experiment. The values are expressed as the mean ± S.E. (n = 6). The different lowercase letters indicate significant differences between treatments (P = 0.05).
