Average R values versus elongation rates for stage IVb sporangiophores of wild type (black curve) and stiff mutant strains, C149 (blue curve) and C216 (red curve). Each point represents the mean value of R for sporangiophores with steady elongation rates in ten minute intervals: 1–10.9 μm/min ……. 61–70.9 μm/min. The vertical bars are the standard errors (SE) of the mean value. There were 59 sporangiophores tested for stiff mutants and 171 sporangiophores for wild type. The curve “R versus elongation rate” for wild type stage IVb sporangiophores (black curve) was obtained from Ortega et al., 2003 with permission. The curves “R versus elongation rate” for stiff mutants stage IVb sporangiophores (blue and red curves) were obtained from Munoz55 with permission.
