Morphological characterization of mutant grains. (A): Average weights of wild type and mutant grains (mean of 10 grains, n = 10). (B): Stereomicroscopic images of wild type and homozygous cslf6 mutants showing the size and external aspect of grain. Scale bar = 1 mm. (C): Cross-sections of wild type and mutant grains (15 days of flowering) stained with Toluidine blue. Scale bar = 200 µm. (D): Calcofluor staining of wild type and mutant grains (15 days after flowering). Scale bar = 50 µm. cslf6-ho: homozygous cslf6 mutant; cslf6-az: azygous cslf6 mutant.
