(n) Number of plants examined.
a
Palisade cells of fifth leaf brade were measured. Standard deviations are shown for results from >150 cells per leaf. Measurements were made on sections.
b
Adaxial epidermal cells of petiole of fifth leaf were measured. Standard deviations are shown for results from >15 cells per petiole.
