Figure 2

Comparison of abscission layers across weedy Oryza populations. Panels A-F are shattering BHA_1A05, Panels G-L are shattering SH_1A08, Panels M-R are non-shattering MXSH_1B06. Each individual was collected 1 week prior to flowering (Prior), at flowering (Flowering) and 1 week after flowering (After). Arrows point to the region of the abscission zone while white boxes outline the region magnified further. Abscission layers can be seen as darkly stained bands. Images at left were taken at 10× magnification while those at right are 60× magnification. Scale bars on bottom right represent 100 μm for 10× images and 50 μm for 60× images.
