Pathogen-derived stretch guides the reorganization of cortical microtubules (CMTs) in plant cells. A Distributions of CMTs anisotropy S. sclerotiorum-infected (n=109 cells) and mock-treated A. thaliana leaves (n=169 cells). Solid vertical bars indicate distribution means. Dashed vertical bars indicate first and third quartiles. B Distribution of CMTs angle relative to the pathogen-derived stretch direction at 24 hpi and 26 hpi. The proportion of cells with CMTs oriented within 0–30°, 30–60°, and 60–90° of the pathogen-derived stretch is indicated above the graph and compared at 24 and 26hpi using a proportion test. Distribution of CMTs angle relative to the pathogen-derived stretch at 24 and 26hpi for cells with CMTs within 0–30° (C), 30–60° (D), and 60–90° (E) of the pathogen-derived stretch. The slope of the linear model indicated the temporal trends of angle evolution over 2h
