Fig. 2. Movement of lipid bodies toward the cell wall during preconditioning and field maturation in cells of the embryo radicle: root cap cells (A), outer (B) and inner (C) QC cells of seed harvested in 2000 at 500 g H₂O kg^-1 fw without PC; after 24 h PC root cap cells (D), outer (E) and inner (F) QC cells; after 48 h outer (G) and inner (H) QC cells; After 72 h PC inner QC cells (I); outer QC cells (J) of seed harvested at 400 g H₂O kg^-1 fw; outer (K) and inner (L) QC cells of seed harvested at 320 g H₂O kg^-1 fw. Bar = 2 µm and arrows point at lipid bodies.
