Light microscopic and scanning electronic microscopic images of leaf surface, and leaf hair density. a, b Light microscopic images of IR24 (a) and IL-hairy (b). Scale bars, 100 μm. c, d Scanning electronic microscopic images of adaxial surface of IL-hairy at tillering stage. Black arrowheads, elongated macro-hairs; white arrowheads, short macro-hairs; black arrows, micro-hairs; white arrows, glandular hairs; gray arrows, silica cells. LV, large vascular bundle; SV, small vascular bundle. e Density of elongated macro-hairs on adaxial side, abaxial side, and both sides in leaves of IR24 and IL-hairy at booting stage. Data are means ± SD (n = 3 or 4). ***P = 0.001 by Student’s t-test
