Comparison of 2D analysis of embedded sections of the same samples used for microCT-scanned rice leaf tissue estimates a similar porosity value to microCT (Unpaired t-test, t = 1.8, df = 7, P = 0.11) (a) but a lower value of Smes (Unpaired t-test, t = 6.4, df = 7, P < 0.01) (b). Boxes with a letter in common are not significantly different from one another at the 95% confidence level. Error bars represent SEM
