Comparison of laccase‐mediated and peroxidase‐mediated incorporation of fluorescence‐tagged monolignols into differentiating compression and normal wood tracheids of Chamaecyparis obtusa seedlings. (a, b) Serial transverse sections from compression (a) and normal (b) wood tissues were labelled with DMAC‐tagged monolignols (DMAC‐PA and DMAC‐CA) in the presence of catalase for detection of laccase/O2 (LACs), glucose and glucose oxidase for peroxidase/H2O2 (PRXs), and with H2O2 for both laccase/O2 and peroxidase/H2O2 (LACs + PRXs) oxidation activities. Regions where the incorporation of fluorescence‐tagged monolignols was detected are indicated on the heat control sections. Bars, 20 μm. (c) Normalised DMAC florescence determined for where the incorporation of fluorescence‐tagged monolignols was detected in different cell wall compartments. Values are based on the mean fluorescence intensity in grey levels ± SD (n ≧ 5). Different letters indicate significant differences (ANOVA with post‐hoc Tukey–Kramer test, P < 0.05).
