Figure 5

The cell wall composition and epidermal cell morphology of leaves of barley cultivars Akashinriki and Bowman and their uzu derivatives (Aka-uzu and Bow-uzu). (A) Twenty days post-stem base treatment the third leaves were removed and cleared for microscopic analysis (bar indicates 50 μm, arrows indicate epidermal cell layer) (a: Akashinriki, b: Akashinriki-uzu, c: Bowman and d: Bowman-uzu and (B) the remaining of the green plant tissue was pooled together and analysed for lignin and cellulose content. Bars indicate SEM (LSD 0.05 cellulose = 1.12, lignin = 0.91).
