Distribution of starch granules in shoot buds of F. yunnanensis in May. Light (a-d) and SEM (e) micrographs. a The longitudinal section of the undifferentiated internode in the top portions of shoot buds, showing the distribution of starch granules close to cell walls (arrows). Bar = 10 μm. b Abundant of starch granules in parenchyma cells between vascular bundles in longitudinal section. Bar = 40 μm. c The longitudinal section of parenchyma cells close to the culm skin, showing abundant of starch granules around the nuclei (arrow). Bar = 10 μm. d The transverse section of the internode in shoot bud close to pseudorhizome, showing one or two starch granules close to cell walls in each parenchyma cells (arrow). Bar = 20 μm. e The transverse section of the internode in pseudorhizome. Few starch granules could be observed. Bar = 200 μm
