Fig. 8

Immunolabelling of whole-stem transverse sections of tilted radiata pine saplings using LM5. Tree 3 (a) and Tree 1 (b). Blue coloration indicates the presence of (1 → 4)-β-galactans in cell walls. SCW labels dark blue (outlined in yellow), MCW 2 labelled mid blue (outlined in red) and MCW 1 labelled light blue (outlined in green). The grades of CWs were determined by the distribution of lignin in the tracheid walls using fluorescence microscopy. The cambium and adjacent differentiating tracheids (DT), normal resin canals (RC), traumatic resin canals (TRC), and two false growth rings (FR) were also labelled. Rays were also labelled and can just be seen as fine, light-blue, radial lines, particularly in (b). Scale bar: 5 mm
