Modest variability in 3′ PI phosphatase expression enhances wound invasion rate. In each plot, either 3′ PI phosphatase expression p_max was varied alone (open diamonds) or together with r_max (filled squares), e_max (filled triangles), or both r_max and e_max (stars) according to sampling models illustrated in Figure 3B. Penetration depth is defined as in Figure 3. Values are averaged over 50 independent model runs, and 95% confidence intervals are within 5% of the mean, except where the penetration depth approaches 5 mm. (A) model II, normal distribution. (B) model II, lognormal distribution. (C) model III, normal distribution. (D) model III, lognormal distribution.
