Low temperature scanning electron microscopy (LT-SEM) of the surface of fruits of grapes Muller-Thurgau, Riesling, Reichensteiner and Ehrenfelser showed that peristomatal protuberances of up to 200 micro m diameter developed 2 weeks after anthesis and consisted of small, compact cells of 10-15 micro m length. These cells were distinctly different from the typically larger cells (30-40 micro m) in the epidermis, hypodermis and outer fruit pericarp.
