(a) Plant architecture and pod shattering character of cultivated soybean HEINONG44 and wild soybean ZYD00755. (b) Magnified views of mature pod of HEINONG44 (~50 DPA). (c) Magnified views of mature pod of ZYD00755 (~50 DPA). (d) Semi-thin cross sections (500 nm) of the HEINONG44 ventral suture of pods showing FCC located at the junctions between two vascular bundle valves with the AL below. (e) Magnified views of (d), showing the secondary walls of FCC were heavily thickened with more secondary deposition in the upper part than lower part in HEINONG44. (f) Semi-thin cross sections (500 nm) of the ZYD00755 ventral suture of pods. (g) Magnified views of (f), showing the secondary walls of FCC were poorly developed with only moderate deposition in the upper part in ZYD00755. vb, vascular bundle. Scale bars in (a), 10 cm; (b,c), 1 cm; (d,f), 200 μm; (e,g), 80 μm.
