Figure 1. Transverse sections of mature inflorescence stems. The bottom regions of inflorescence stems were sampled from 40-day-old wild-type plants (A and B) and transgenic plants overexpressing BXL2 (BXL2ox; C and D), UGT88A1 (UGT88A1ox; E and F), AT3G15350 (putatively encoding a class GT14 glycosyltransferase; GT14ox; G and H), and Dof4.6 (Dof4.6ox; I and J) and fixed in fixative solution (90% [v/v] ethanol, 10% [v/v] acetic acid) at 4°C overnight. Sections were prepared by hand and stained with safranine (red signals for lignin) and astra blue (blue signals for polysaccharides in cell walls). Bars, 100 µm.
