Histological characterization of culms in wild-type (WT) and wls5 plants. a Cross sections of internode II of WT (‘93–11’) and wls5 plants at heading stage. b Magnification of a. Bars = 500 μm (a), 50 μm (b). c Statistical analysis of cell number between WT and wls5 plants; means ± SD of five independent replicates. d Longitudinal sections of internode II of WT and wls5 plants. Bars = 50 μm. e-f Statistical analysis of cell length and cell width between WT and wls5 plants; means ± SD of 30 cells. **P < 0.01 (Student’s t-test)
