Expression of cell wall related genes in basal and ear internodes of silking , caffeic acid -methyltransferase (COMT) down-regulated, and normal maize plants-0
Ld plants stained with Maüle reagent (A-B). Light microscopy observations of transverse sections in bottom part of ear internode in silking plants stained with Wiesner reagent (D, F, H). UV illumination of ear internode bottom part in silking plants (E, G, I). Differences in coloration of lignified tissues between F2, AS225 and F2lines in the presence of Maüle reagent (A-C) are visible. Metaxylem vessels of ear internode transverse sections (D-I) of AS225 and F2plants also had a modified lignification (arrow). x = xylem; s = sclerenchyma; p = parenchyma; pp = protophloem; px = protoxylem; mx = metaxylem. Magnification bar was 100 μm (A-C) or 50 μm (D-I).<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "Expression of cell wall related genes in basal and ear internodes of silking , caffeic acid -methyltransferase (COMT) down-regulated, and normal maize plants"</p><p>http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2229/8/71</p><p>BMC Plant Biology 2008;8():71-71.</p><p>Published online 26 Jun 2008</p><p>PMCID:PMC2453129.</p><p></p
