Cell division in leaves of OsCYCDs overexpressing plants. The arrangements of cells in both stomata files and the non-stomata area in WT (A), OsCYCD2;2 ovexpressing plants (B), OsCYCD6;1 ovexpressing plants (C), and OsCYCD7;1 ovexpressing plants (D). Red stars represent single cell or tandem multiple cells between two stomata. Red arrows represent two neibouring files containing stomata (somatal file twins, SFT) which might be caused by the abnormal proliferation of stomatal-lineage cells. Green arrows represent additional files between two stomata files supererogatory divisions occurred at partial epidermal cells. (E) The rate of SFT in WT and OsCYCDs overexpressing plants. (F) The rate of single cell and tandem multiple cells between two stomata in WT and OsCYCDs overexpressing plants. (G) The rate of additional files between two stomata files in WT and OsCYCDs overexpressing plants. (H) The length of cells in the non-stomata area. Each line were examined with five independent samples. Bars = 50 μm
