FORMATION NODES
I think I can safely say that every laid barley plant in this formation had node deformities of some sort.
All images on this page are actual barley stalks scanned on a flatbed scanner at 300 pixels per inch (118 pixels per centimeter), so the magnification is constant among all images.
Here is a scan of rulers that will open in a new browser window. You can use it as a scale.
The following three scans are from the same five plants collected
in the center circle.
FORMATION NODES: Apical nodes (closest to seed head).
FORMATION NODES: Penultimate nodes (second from seed head), same five plants as above.
FORMATION NODES: Third nodes, same five plants as above.
