Fig. 8. Clb2 promotes a more circular cell shape beginning early in the cell cycle.

a Schematic of cell shape during growth. b Mean and SEM of elongation versus area for different cyclin mutants. **: p = 0.004, single-tail t-test. c Mean and STD for two of the populations from panel b illustrating the variability in the data. b, c Abscissa scaled so that 1 is the mean area of wild-type cells, corresponding to 16.3 μm². n=525 (WT), 500 (clnΔ^*), 597 (clb2Δ), 543 (clnΔ^*clb5,6Δ). The largest 2.5% of the overall population was discarded. The remaining range was binned into 8 equal intervals. There were no WT or clnΔ^* cells in the largest bin, therefore, no values are shown.
