Figure 1. Changes in morphology and polysaccharides in apical buds of C. lanceolata during the dormancy-activity transition.

Overview of the shoot apical meristem (SAM) in the field (A–C); bud morphology at dormant, reactivating, and active stages (D–F); distribution of polysaccharides in buds at different stages (G–I); enlarged view of G, H, I (J–L). Scale bars: 100 μm in G–L. The white arrows indicate the polysaccharides.
