Measurement of chloroplast length in leaf stomatal guard cells of WT and parc6-1 seedlings1.
| Chloroplast characteristics | WT (FL6-4) | parc6-1 (FL6-4) |
|---|---|---|
| Frequency of chloroplasts | ||
| Giant chloroplast | 0 (0.0%) | 30 (30.0%) |
| Normal-sized chloroplast | 100 (100.0%) | 69 (69.0%) |
| Mini-chloroplast | 0 (0.0%) | 1 (1.0%) |
| Chloroplast length (µm) | ||
| Mean ± standard deviation | 4.3 ± 0.7 | 5.4 ± 1.8 |
| Maximum | 5.6 | 10.9 |
| Minimum | 2.6 | 1.9 |
| Total number of chloroplasts examined | 100 | 100 |
