a
Inflorescence stems of 6-week-old plants were measured for their height. bPith cell length was measured from longitudinal sections of inflorescence stems. cWall thickness was measured from transmission electron micrographs of stem pith cells. dFifth leaves of 4-week-old plants were used for measurement. eRoots of 4-day-old light-grown seedlings were used for measurement. fHypocotyls of 4-day-old dark-grown seedlings were used for measurement.
