Localization of JIM8 epitopes in banana (Musa spp.) leaves. Cross-sections through the lateral vein are presented for all cases. (A) The epitopes appeared in the sclerenchyma cells of Musa spp. ABB Dajiao (chilling-tolerant genotype). (B) The epitopes appeared also in the GCs in both genotypes. (C) The epitopes appeared in Musa spp. AAA cv Baxijiao (chilling-sensitive genotype), exhibiting some cells of the vascular bundle (an arrow) were also labeled besides the sclerenchyma. (D) The epitopes observed in some xylem vessel in both genotypes. GC, guard cells; Sc, sclerenchyma cells; and Xy, xylem vessel. The bar represents 50 μm.
