Figure 6. Scanning electron micrographs of the PhCESA3-silenced plants compared with those of control plants.

Figure 6

(a–d), Epidermal cells of stem (a), pedicel (b), filament (c) and style (d) showing reduced cell length and increased cell width in PhCESA3-silenced plants (right, bottom in (d)) compared to control plants (left, top in (d)). (e,f), Adaxial (e) and abaxial (f) epidermal cells of leaves showing the reduced cell size in PhCESA3-silenced plants (right) compared to control plants (left). (g,h) Adaxial (g) and abaxial (h) epidermal cells of petal limb showing the reduced cell size in PhCESA3-silenced plants (right) compared to control plants (left). (i), Pedicels showing the reduced number of trichomes in PhCESA3-silenced plants (right) compared to control plants (left). (j) Trichomes of pedicel showing the reduced trichome length and more collapsed trichomes in PhCESA3-silenced plants (right) compared to control plants (left). (k) Pollen grains showing the abnormal pollen mother cell in PhCESA3-silenced plants (right) compared to control plants (left). Bars = 50 μm in (a–f); bars = 20 μm in (g–h); bar = 1 mm in (i); bars = 200 μm in (j); bars = 10 μm in (k).
