Fig. 2

Confocal images of maize leaf protoderm treated with 2,4-D (0.4 mg/ml) and a mock treatment group. A1–A5 Mock treatment group, and B1–B5 0.4 mg/ml 2,4-D treatment group. A1 The ligule is indicated by a white solid box. B1 The ligule disappeared at the leaf base. B2 The number of GMC at the asymmetric entry division stage decreased, and B3 the number of young stomata at the SMC asymmetric division stage decreased. B4 Abnormal stomata complexes formed at the SMC formation stage in the 0.4 mg/ml treatment group. All confocal images were stained by propidium iodide. Scale bar = 20 μm
