Morphological characteristics of quinoa (Kd) plants. (A) 14 day-old quinoa (Kd) seedlings grown in soil. Scale bar = 1 cm. (B) 32 day-old quinoa (Kd) plant grown in soil. Scale bar = 5 cm. (C) A main panicle. Scale bar = 5 cm. (D) Dried mature quinoa (Kd) seeds. Scale bar = 1 cm. (E) Epidermal bladder cells (salt bladders) on abaxial surface of a young quinoa leaf (the leaf blade length: 15 mm). Scale bar = 0.5 mm. (F) Epidermal bladder cells (salt bladders) on abaxial surface of a fully expanded quinoa leaf. Scale bar = 0.5 mm. (G) Epidermal bladder and guard cells on abaxial surface of a fully expanded quinoa leaf were observed using a colour laser three-dimensional profile microscope (Keyence, Osaka, Japan), which shows epidermal bladder and stomatal aperture with no pretreatments. White arrows indicate epidermal bladder cells. Scale bar = 50 µm. (H) Enlarged view of guard cells on abaxial surface of a fully expanded quinoa leaf was provided using the microscope as described in (G). Scale bar = 50 µm.
