Leaf Anatomy and Photochemical Behaviour of Solanum lycopersicum L. Plants from Seeds Irradiated with Low-LET Ionising Radiation
Figure 4
Epifluorescence microscopy views of lamina cross sections of S. lycopersicum L. “Microtom” compound leaves from plants developed from control (a) and 100 Gy irradiated seeds (b). Phenolic compounds along chloroplast membranes are autofluorescent. Percent of mesophyll occupied by phenolic compounds (%) is shown in (c) and (d) for juvenile (JL) and compound (CL) leaves, respectively. Mean values and standard errors are reported (); different letters correspond to significantly different values after multiple comparison tests ().
