Effect of cytoskeleton inhibitors on degradation of charasomes. Branchlet internodal cells of C. australis previously exposed to light for 8 d were dark treated for 9 (A) and 12 d (B), respectively. Maximum charasome area fractions were determined for each cell (n≥15). Shown are median values with upper and lower quartiles (boxes), whiskers indicating the 10th and 90th percentiles, and outliers (dots) with n≥9 for each plot. Charasome degradation is significantly delayed in cells treated with 25 μM cytochalasin D (CD) for 9 d (*P≤0.002, Mann–Whitney rank sum test).
