Histochemical analysis of lignin in stem cross-sections of control and V. dahliae-inoculated cotton plants. Hand-cut cross-sections of stem were stained with Wiesner reagents for detecting lignin. Pink staining with the Wiesner reagent indicates the presence of p-hydroxycinnamyl aldehyde end groups in lignin. (A, B, E, F, I ,J) Sections from control and V. dahliae-inoculated G. barbadense (resistant) stems. (C, D, G, H, K, L) Sections from control and V. dahliae-inoculated G. hirsutum (susceptible) stems. (A–D) Sections from 16-day-old plants before inoculation. (E–H) Sections from control plants 14 d after treatment. (I–K) Sections from inoculated plants 14 d after treatment. Adjustments to magnification and illumination were made to allow optimal viewing of individual sections.
