Sizes of organelles in photosynthetic cells in leaves of D. tenuifolia, radish, and their hybrids

MC, Mesophyll cells; BSC, BS cells. Values are given as the mean ± sd of 40 measurements for chloroplasts and mitochondria and 10 measurements for peroxisomes. The long axes and the diameters were measured for chloroplasts and for mitochondria and peroxisomes, respectively.
