Fig. 4

X-ray µCT radiographs, XY cross sections and 3D rendered images of Barley spikes manually removed from the tiller. a Barley spike at 50 mm, b mature Barley spike at 70 mm, c close up scan of control (water) spike, d close up scan of Bismuth treated spike, e close up µCT scanned of Barley spike unsheathed, f XY cross section of the control (water) spike still sheathed, g close up of cross section highlighted three anther structures, h 3D rendered image of unsheathed floral bud using X-ray µCT, i Dissected 3D image of Barley anther. Within the images; floret (f), anther (a), palea (p), rachella (r), lemma (l), lodicule (lo), awn (aw), pseudostem (ps). Scale bar a, b is 10 mm; ce, h is 1 mm; f, g is 0.1 mm; i is 50 µm
