Morphological parameters of isolated nuclei before and after FISH treatments compared to untreated nuclei from leaf cryosections.

	N	Diameter (μm)	Compactness	NZ	Flatness
Untreated	65	5.99 ± 0.72	0.79 ± 0.07	21	1.54 ± 0.36
Before FISH	77	5.85 ± 0.85 (p = 0.25)	0.77 ± 0.11 (p = 0.72)	71	1.56 ± 0.40 (p = 0.87)
After FISH	64	5.79 ± 0.83 (p = 0.14)	0.74 ± 0.14 (p = 0.36)	48	1.79 ± 0.53 (p = 0.08)

N: number of analyzed nuclei; NZ: number of nuclei with the shortest axis aligned with the Z-axis and used to compute flatness. The p-values of the pair wise comparisons between isolated nuclei and untreated cryosection nuclei are given in parenthesis. ±: Standard error. Untreated: cryosections.
