Fig 3 — Three-dimensional model of void spaces in the hypocotyl of a developing oilseed rape (Brassica napus) seed. (a) CT image of the hypocotyl (corresponding to region ‘D’ in Fig. 1(c), cfr. horizontal section), where the stelar tissue is densely packed. (b) Model of void spaces in a segment of the hypocotyl. Channels in the cortex are aligned axially and are well inter-connected, while in the stele, pores are few in number. (c) CT image of the hypocotyl (corresponding to region ‘C’ in Fig. 1(c), cfr. vertical tangential section). (d) Model of void spaces in the same region described in (c). Here, there are a few longitudinal channels, but their inter-connectivity is poor. AS, airspace; COR, cortex of hypocotyl; ES, endosperm; EP, epidermis; ST, hypocotyl stele; SC, seed coat (testa).
