white radish

While looking under the microscope, I noticed that there weren't a lot of starch in the radish after adding a few drops of iodine to it (if it had turned dark blue or so, that would mean there would be starch teeming the white radish. However, as seen above, there aren't many spots where there are any blue stains).

 Another thing I noticed was how thick the cell walls seemed compared to the other plants I observed in the past. An assumption I made was that the radish was perhaps turgid because of the expanded structures of the cell walls as shown on the pictures.
