From: Transcriptomic analysis reveals the roles of microtubule-related genes and transcription factors in fruit length regulation in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.)

Figure 7

Comparison of cell morphology in lines 408 and 409.

(A)–(C) Microscopic longitudinal sections of the young fruits at 4 days before anthesis (an-4) in line 408 (A) and line 409 (B) and the corresponding quantifications of cell size (C). (D)–(F) Microscopic longitudinal sections of the young fruits at anthesis (an) in line 408 (D) and line 409 (F) and the respective quantifications of cell size (F). (D′)–(E′) are the enlarged view of the boxes in D and E, respectively. The bars in C and F represent the standard deviation (n = 3). Asterisk in F indicates that the cell size in line 408 is significantly larger than that in line 409 at anthesis (unpaired t test, P < 0.05). Bar = 50 um.
