From: Dynamic development of starch granules and the regulation of starch biosynthesis in Brachypodium distachyon: comparison with common wheat and Aegilops peregrina

Figure 1

Observation and statistics of starch granules diameter during development of seeds. A, Bright-field images of grain cross-sections stained with Fast Green and iodine allowing for the visualization of both intracellular proteins (green) and starch (blue-purple). The yellow arrows show A-granule starch, and the red arrows point to B-granule starch. B, Diameter of starch granules during development of seeds: comparison between A-granule starch granules of Chinese Spring (CS; common wheat) and those of Aegilops peregrina. DPA: days post-anthesis. C, Diameter of starch granules during development of seeds: comparison between B-granule starch granules of CS and of Brachypodium distachyon Bd21.
