Measurements were taken from 5 DAG root epidermal cells (0.5 cm from the tip) of vln2 and the wild type. Values given are means ± se, with n = 231 filaments from n = 63 root epidermal cells per line. Asterisks indicate significant difference from the wild-type control value by Student’s t test, P ≤ 0.01; ND, no significant difference from wild-type control value by Student’s t test, P > 0.05.
