Table 1. Single filament dynamics in wild-type treated with mock or 10 µm TIBA.

Values given are the mean ± se, with n > 50 filaments from n > 10 root epidermal cells and at least 10 seedlings per treatment. Significantly different from mock control value by t test; **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001. nd, Not significantly different from mock control value by t test; P > 0.05.
