Figure 5 in Development and function of plasmodesmata in zygotes of Fucus distichus

Figure 5: Mature sporophyte of Fucus distichus from the field. (A) Medulla layer. Large vacuoles occupy centers of cells, and other organelles are appressed to the edge. Rectangle indicates area with pit field. (B) Cortex and meristoderm layers. Cells in the cortex contain vacuoles with different contents. (C) Pit field in wall between cortex cells (indicated by rectangle). (D–G) Consecutive serial sections of pit field shown in (C). Ovals in (D) and (F) indicate branched plasmodesmata. (H) Branched plasmodesmata from (D). (I) Branched plasmodesmata from (F). Scale bars=5 µm (A), 10 µm (B), 2 µm (C), 200 nm (D–G), 500 nm (H, I).
