Fe Accumulated in the Vessels and in the Phloem in nas4x-2 Leaves.
Plants were analyzed in the RS.
(A) Perls Fe staining signals in leaves of the wild type and nas4x-2, showing Fe deposits in leaf veins (indicated by arrows) and hydathodes (marked by arrowheads) of nas4x-2 leaves; on the right side, unstained control. Further details are available in Supplemental Figure 2 online. Bar = 1 cm.
(B) Perls Fe staining signals in 7-µm sections of wild-type and nas4x-2 young and middle-aged leaves, showing Fe deposits in the phloem of the vessels in nas4x-2 (indicated by arrows); a magnification is shown in Supplemental Figure 5 online. Ph, phloem; Xy, xylem. Bars = 50 µm.
