Single-cell analyses of the DCMU-induced starch degradation. (A) PDF of the CSD during starch degradation exhibits a lognormal distribution. Unlike starch accumulation, the mean value decreased with time, and a more narrow distribution was observed. (B–D) Theoretical and empirical analyses after 1 (B), 2 (C), and 3 h (D) of starch degradation. Black, CSD at the onset of the degradation (i.e., after 6 h illumination); red, distribution obtained by Eq. 4 assuming a constant degradation rate; blue, distribution obtained by using the degradation rate obtained for each interval (see inset).
