Fig. 6

a Protoxylem vessel cells in the roots of FH-knockout mutants. Supplementary Fig. 23 contains detailed information about these mutants. Blue arrowheads indicate protoxylem vessels. Scale bars = 5 µm. b Angle of stripes in protoxylem vessel cells in the roots of FH-knockout mutants. The x-axis shows stripe angles in 10° increments and the y-axis the relative frequency of stripes within each increment. The values for individual lines are shown in the stacked bar graph. The individual segmented graphs are shown in Supplementary Fig. 24. The solid lines superimposed on the graph represent the theoretical curves of a Gaussian distribution. The proportions of stripes with angles > 10° for each line are shown on the right of the graph. n = 829 (WT), 883 (fh11), 870 (#28-2), 769 (#170-2), 1005 (#9-10), 909 (#9-11), 909 (#136-1), 788 (#129-21) and 698 (#131-1) stripes.
