Immunofluorescence micrographs of transverse sections of OW and three CWs labelled with BS 400-2. OW (a) MCW1 (b), MCW2 (c) and SCW (d). In OW, there is very weak labelling of the tracheid walls (a). Computer enhanced brightening of the selected region (inset in a at the same scale) shows the S2 layer is the structure labelled. In MCW1, there is weak labelling of the inner region of the S2 layer (S2i) (b). This region is labelled brighter in MCW 2 (c). The brightest labelling is found in the same region in the SCW tracheid walls and is in the helical cavities. Sections were from Tree 1 and the micrographs obtained using a Leica confocal microscope. Scale bar: 10 μm
