From: Transcriptome profiling using pyrosequencing shows genes associated with bast fiber development in ramie (Boehmeria nivea L.)

Figure 3

Brief view of the four samples that represented different fiber developmental stages. Samples were collected from the start of fiber ripening stage (when the aboveground stem was turning pitchy, as indicated by the arrow in E). The slicing results are shown beneath samples L (A), T (B), M (C) and B (D) and represent their fiber developmental status correspondingly. Arrows pointing from A, B, C and D to the ramie stem in E show the relative positions of the four samples. The differentially thickened stem fiber cell walls are denoted by arrows (red arrows in B, C and D). Bars in A, B, C and D are 20 μm long, whereas in E is 10 cm long.
