Figure 5

Shape of leaf trichome nuclei. A) Hoechst stained nuclei of two-week-old leaf trichomes. Abnormally elongated nuclei of xi-2/xi-k and xi-1/xi-2/xi-k trichomes are shown. Bar = 15 μm. B) Sphericity of trichome nuclei (mean ± SD). Sphericity is the ratio of the volume of a nucleus to the surface area of the nucleus, which is the smallest in xi-2/xi-k mutants. Asterisks indicate statistical significance (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, and *** p < 0.001, Kruskal-Wallis with Dunn’s Multiple Comparisons Test, n = 55-157).
