Measurements taken from epidermal cells in the top third of 5-d-old hypocotyls of the cpb-1 mutant and corresponding wild-type sibling plants. Values given are means ± se, with n > 50 filaments from n > 10 epidermal cells and at least 10 hypocotyls per line. For filament origin: n > 30 cells from at least 10 hypocotyls per line. ND, not significantly different from the wild-type control value by Student’s t test; P value > 0.05. *Significantly different from the wild-type control value by Student’s t test; P value ≤ 0.05. Significantly different from wild-type control group value by analysis of variance; P value < 0.0001.
