Comparison of the high and low oil-containing B. napus cotyledon cells during in vitro germination and seedling growth. a-c and G-I: the development of cotyledon cells in high oil-content material (12WH191) imbibed in water at 28 °C under dark. d-f and j-l: the development of cotyledon cells in low oil-content material (KenC8) imbibed in water at 28 °C under dark. Significant difference can be seen in the mobilization of PBs and OBs and the accumulation of starch. a and c, dry mature seeds; b and d, 12 h of in vitro germination; g and j, 2 days of in vitro germination; h and k, 3 days of germination; i and l, 4 days of germination. PB: protein body; OB: oil body; V: vacuole; St: starch grains; P: plastids; cw: cell wall. Scale bar (a-e; g-k) =2 μm. Bar (f and l) =1 μm
