Figure 7

Examples of flax mutants showing morphological modifications in bast fibers. a) mutant with low fiber number and fibers with thin secondary cell walls; b) mutant with disorganised fiber bundles containing lacuna and thin-walled fibers with wide lumens; c) mutant with fibers containing wide lumens; d) mutant with flattened bast fibers; e) mutant with disorganised fiber bundles containing wide lumens and thin secondary cell walls.Freehand cross-sections of mature flax stems were stained with Phloroglucinol-HCl and lignified cell walls appear coloured in red. Bar = 0,1 mm.
