| Research Abstract |
Over the last three years we have investigated the role and location of plant myosin in plant cells. During this period we have isolated five myosin isotypes, purified many homozygous lines of anti-sense plants, and have inserted the green fluorescent protein DNA from the jellyfish Aqueorus into Arabidopsis plants. We have been able to analyze the act in-myosin-based movement of endoplasmic reticulum using the confocal laser microscope in developing cells of the root and hypocotyl. We have published a number of publications related to this work in international journals including Science, Protoplasma, Plant Physiology and Plant Cell Physiology. Currently we have submitted several papers to journals such as Plant Cell. We consider this project a large success and will continue to research this major area of basic research in plants.
