Research Abstract |
Orientation of cellulose microfibril deposition is controlled by cortical microtubules. The aim of this study is to reveal dynamics of cortical microtubules during the secondary cell wall deposition. We generated transgenic aspens in which microtubules were labeled by GFP expression. Cortical microtubules were visualized by GFP fluorescence in leaf, root and phloem cells in the transgenic plants. However, GFP fluorescence was weak in xylem fiber cells due to low expression of GFP-tagged protein.
