Quantitative analysis of changes in actin microfilament contribution to cell plate development in plant cytokinesis-3

Ircle) cells. Time 0 min represents the initiation of cell plate formation. Values are arithmetic means ± SE from 12 independent experiments. The continuous and broken lines represent the regression curves for cell plate diameter of control and BA-treated cells, respectively, calculated from model equation 1 (A) or 2 (B). In model equation 1, the expansion rate is constant (A). In model equation 2, the expanding rate undergoes time-dependent changes (B). When the control data was applied to model equation 2, became underspecified and was consequently assumed to be invariant at 1.81. Comparison of -values in chi-square goodness of fit tests. The -value indicates the probability that an observed difference between the measured and predicted values by model equations 1 or 2 occurred by chance alone. If the -value is less than the significant level at 0.05, we cannot accept that there are no differences between the measured and predicted values. Note that the data fit model equation 2 (B) much better than model equation 1 (A). Simulation of changes in the effects of BA treatment on expansion rate calculated at 1 min intervals. The values are arithmetic means ± SE from 12 independent calculation results of . The 12 parameter sets and were the same as calculated in (B). Significance was determined using Student's t-test. -value *< 0.05. **<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "Quantitative analysis of changes in actin microfilament contribution to cell plate development in plant cytokinesis"</p><p>http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2229/8/80</p><p>BMC Plant Biology 2008;8():80-80.</p><p>Published online 17 Jul 2008</p><p>PMCID:PMC2490694.</p><p>
