Observations of stem tissues and cell wall structures. A, B Scanning electron micrographs of the sclerenchyma cell walls of the wild-type (A) and cef3 (B), Bars = 100 μm. C, D Enlargements of the red boxed regions in (A) and (B), respectively. Bars = 5 μm. E, F Enlargements of the blue boxed regions in (A) and (B), respectively. Bars = 20 μm. G Measurements of the thickness of sclerenchyma cell wall. Error bars represent SD (n = 30). Different letters denote significant differences (P < 0.05, Duncan’s multiple range test). H Cell wall polymer determination. Error bars, SD of three biological replicates. The asterisks (**) indicate p < 0.01 from Student’s t tests
