(A) Fluorescence images of the adaxial and abaxial surfaces of half-leaves under UV excitation. Scale bar: 1 mm. (B) Schematic of the spatial distribution of singlet (gray), doublet (green), triplet (red), and quadruplet and more (orange) idioblasts across the half-leaves. (C) Frequency of idioblast clusters on the whole adaxial and abaxial surfaces of leaves. Data collected from 18 leaves for the adaxial (top) or 19 leaves for the abaxial (bottom) surface are shown. (D, E) Frequency of idioblast clusters on the whole adaxial and abaxial surfaces of leaves. Data from individual leaves for the adaxial (D) and the abaxial (E) surfaces are shown.
