Organization and ultrastructure of leaf tissues in P. oceanica. A Low magnification microscopy observation of leaf tissue ultrastructure from P. oceanica (15 m depth). Left: view of the abaxial epidermis. Right: the abaxial epidermis was removed to expose underlying parenchyma. AbEp abaxial epidermis, AdEp adaxial epidermis, CW cell wall, TP transparent parenchyma. B Electron micrographs of a leaf transverse section (15 m depth). The lower (AbEp) and upper (AdEp) epidermis are separated by a parenchyma layer (aerenchyma). Ac aerenchyma, FC fusiform cells, P parenchyma, PC polyphenol cell. C Closed details of polyphenol cell (15 m depth) showing a polyphenol deposit in the vacuole. CW cell wall, C chloroplast, Mc mitochondria, PpD polyphenol deposits, Vc vacuole
