Scanning electron micrographs (SEMs)
Mature wild-type trichomeSEM of a mature wild-type trichome on an Arabidopsis leaf. Scale bar is 100 µm. |
|
itb1 leafEnvironmental scanning electron microscopes can visualize living hydrated samples including live Arabidopsis plants. This ESEM shows developing trichomes on an itb1 mutant leaf. Scale bar is 100 µm. |
|
itb1 trichomesESEM of mature trichomes on an itb1 mutant leaf. ITB1 encodes a regulator of actin polymerization. Mutations in ITB1 cause cell expansion defects in trichomes and epidermal pavement cells. Scale bar is 50 µm. |
|
Developing itb1 trichomeESEM of a developing trichome on an itb1 mutant leaf. Scale bar is 20 µm. |
|
Mature frc2 trichomecryo SEM of a mature trichome on a frc2 mutant leaf. FRC2 encodes a katanin protein that regulates microtubule organization and cell expansion. Scale bar is 115 µm. |

Confocal Images
itb1 trichomeComposite confocal image of a developing trichome on an itb1 mutant plant. The trichome was treated with fluorescently labeled antibodies (green for microtubules and red for actin) and a dye that stains the nucleus blue. |
