Micrographs showing that exposure of the seedlings
to 0°C for 6 min depolymerized cortical microtubules to the same
extent for transverse, oblique, and longitudinal orientations in
well-watered and water-stressed roots. A to D, Well-watered roots; E to
H, water-stressed roots. Examples of transverse (A and E), oblique (B
and F; right-handed helical), longitudinal (C and G), and oblique (D
and H; left-handed helical) microtubule orientations. Bar = 20
