Fig. 1

A theoretical distribution of starch granule sizes showing misclassification by size threshold discrimination. Two underlying distributions of A-type (red line) and B-type (blue line) granule types add togethe r to give the observed granule size distribution (black line). Where a size discrimination threshold is used, such as  μm (vertical dotted line), a proportion of granules will be misclassified. In this example, the lower tail of the A-type distribution is misclassified as B-type (light grey shading) and the upper tail of the B-type distribution is misclassified as A-type (dark grey shading). Note x-axis is the log with base e of the diameter of the granule particle
