Dancing fluorescent Golgi bodies in tobacco leaf cells, visualised with confocal laser scanning microscopy.
plantendomembrane describes this video as follows:
Dancing fluorescent Golgi bodies in tobacco leaf cells, visualised with confocal laser scanning microscopy. Plant Golgi bodies move through the cell along the actin cytoskeleton. We are able to see them with a light microscope with the help of green fluorescent protein (GFP). We then edited the movies in Adobe Premiere to add the rainbow hue-change effect. We like to think they might do this in reality too.
Can fluorescence microscopy be used as a rapid tool to quantitatively assess the phenolic profiles of living plant tissues?
Microscopy methods developed in the 1960s are still commonly used in plant science today but new low-cost techniques offer big advantages.
As plant Golgi bodies move through the cell along the actin cytoskeleton, they face the need to maintain their polarized stack structure whilst receiving, processing and distributing protein cargo destined for secretion...
