Cotyledon shape

Caption

Light-sheet images showing cotyledon opening and the development of distinct mechanical stress patterns between the adaxial and abaxial sides. (A) Seedlings imaged at 1 and 2 days after germination (DAG). Dashed lines indicate the positions of the optical transverse sections shown in panels B and C. Scale bar: 200 μm. (B) Optical transverse section of a cotyledon at 1DAG showing the adaxial and abaxial sides. Scale bar: 100 μm. (C) Optical transverse section of a cotyledon at 2DAG showing increased curvature and differential growth between the two sides of the cotyledon. Scale bar: 100 μm.
