Leaf Thickness and Cell Size in Wild-Type and mex1 Plants.

(A) Scanning electron micrographs of a mature leaf cross-section of wild-type and mex1 (4 and 5 weeks old, respectively; leaf numbers 6–8). Note the smaller cell size and reduced leaf thickness in mex1. Bars  =  50 μm.

(B) Imprints of epidermal cells from the abaxial side of mature wild-type and mex1 leaves obtained using nail polish and viewed by light microscopy. Plants were 5 weeks old. Leaf numbers were 7–9 and 6–8 for the wild-type and mex1, respectively. Bars  =  50 μm.
