crw1 - A Novel Maize Mutant Highly Susceptible to Foliar Damage by the Western Corn Rootworm Beetle
Figure 4
Representative cryoscanning electron micrographs comparing leaf epidermis in crw1 and wild-type leaves.
Adaxial surface of leaf 3 of crw1 (A) and wild-type (E), covered with crystalline epicuticular waxes. Adaxial surface of leaf number 7 of crw1 (B) and wild-type (F) showing amorphous epicuticular waxes. All four different cell types of trichomes-prickle hair (Ph), macrohair (Mh), bicellular microhair (Bm) and bulliform cells (Bc) are present both in crw1 (C and D) and wild-type (G and H) leaf 7. Bars A and E = 100 µm, B and F = 40 µm, C, D, G and H = 300 µm.
