Phenotypic characterization of seed storage organelles. TEM was used to observe the protein bodies in developing seeds of wild type (a–h) and Glb-RNAi transformants (i–p). Scale bar is shown in each panel. AL, aleurone layer; SAL, subaleurone layer; CW, cell wall; V, vacuole; S, starch grain; OB, oil body; N, nucleus; PB-I, protein body I; PSV, protein storage vacuole; and RER, rough endoplasmic reticulum. Red arrowheads, distinguished outline and shape compared with those of wild type.
