Casparian bands in the mestome sheath in different developmental regions of barley leaves. Cross-sections were stained with berberin-hemisulphate/toluidine blue and viewed under UV-light (Brundrett et al., 1988). Occurrence of Casparian bands (yellow fluorescence) is indicated by arrows. Xylem vessels showed autofluorescence. MX, metaxylem; PX, protoxylem; MSH, mestome sheath; PH, phloem. Scale bar (A, C, E, G)=50 μm, scale bar (B, D, F, H)=25 μm.
