From: Growth control of Marchantia polymorpha gemmae using nonthermal plasma irradiation

The shapes of lobes of plasma irradiated gemmalings. The representative pictures of various shapes of gemmalings in (A–C). The pictures were taken by a S8AP0 microscope (Leica Microsystems, Wetzlar, Germany) and a WRAYCAM-NOA2000 digital camera (WRAYMER, Osaka, Japan). The black dotted line in the center of gemmaling indicates the boundary between the two lobes. The black line traces the lobe of normal shape. (A) The normal shape of gemmaling. (B) The gemmaling with an additional lobe on one side lobe. Red dotted line and red arrows indicate the additional lobe. (C) The gemmaling with a growth-inhibited lobe. Blue dotted line and blue arrow indicates the growth-inhibited lobe. (D) The frequency of various shape of each lobe.
