Transverse sections of the leaves, sheaths, and roots of the transformants. (A) Half leaf of ZH11; (B) leaf of the CVS transformant, with a white arrowhead indicating the exaggerated epidermial cells, black arrowheads with ‘Bc’ in (A) and (B) indicating the bulliform cells, a black arrowhead indicating bulliform-like cells on the abaxial surface, and red arrowheads in (A) and (B) indicating vascular bundles. (C) ZH11 sheath; (D) sheath of the CVS transformant, with ‘AC’ in (C) and (D) indicating the air cavity. (E) ZH11 root; (F) root of the CVS transformants. (G) ZH11 leaves, left: half leaf blade without midrib, right: midrib with part of leaf blade. (H) Leaf of the non-CVS transformants with red arrows indicating bulliform-like cells on the abaxial surface, a black arrowhead indicating the ectopically formed vascular bundles. (I) Enlarged view of the rectangle in (H). Bars in (A)–(I) were 100 μm. ZH11 in (A), (C), (E) was at the five-leaf-stage, in (G) was at the booting stage.
