Fig. 4. Alignment of lipid bodies along the plasma membrane in inner QC cells of the embryo radicle after the seed was dried under different conditions in 1998, (A, B and C) seed harvested at 550, 400, and 320 g H2O kg-1 fw, respectively, and dried in the fluidized bed without PC; (D and E) seed harvested at 550 and 500 g H2O kg-1 fw, respectively both with 48 h PC; (F) seed harvested at 500 g H2O kg-1 fw dried entirely at PC (35C) conditions. Bar = 2 µm and arrows point at lipid bodies.
