Immunofluorescence labelling of cotton fibre sections with xyloglucan directed mAb LM25. Paired CFML bulges are restricted to the G. hirsutum species as labelled by the xyloglucan mAb LM25 in cross sections of fibre tissues at different developmental stages in China10 (G. barbadense), FM966 (G. hirsutum) and JFW15 (G. arboreum) lines. 5 and 10 dpa panels: the LM25 epitope is abundant in the enlarged regions (arrows) and bulges (arrowheads) of the CFML in the fibre tissue of high quality varieties China10 and FM966 but absent from the JFW15, a low quality fibre variety. 17 dpa panels: xyloglucans are structured in single or paired bulges (arrowheads) and remain as anchoring points between cells during cell detachment at 25 dpa in FM966 (blue arrows). Scale bar =10 μm. All images in the figure are at the same magnification
