Morphological structure of soybean aleurone layer. a) Mature cotyledon showing the isolation of the single-cell aleurone layer from the seed coat. b) Light micrograph of a cross-section of a mature soybean cotyledon showing the single cell layer of the aleurone, crushed endosperm and storage parenchyma cells. Bar denotes 10 ÎĽm. c) Transmission electron micrograph of an aleurone layer isolated from a mature soybean cotyledon. Among the intracellular constituents marked are: PSV protein storage vacuole, P plastid, G golgi, M mitochondria, ER endoplasmic reticulum. Circled areas show the connections between adjacent cells where the plasmadesmata are visible. Bar denotes 1 ÎĽm
