Scanning electron micrographs (SEMs)

RLD wt img
Mature wild-type trichome

SEM of a mature wild-type trichome on an Arabidopsis leaf. Scale bar is 100 µm.

Environmental 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 trichomes img
itb1 trichomes

ESEM 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.

itb1 developing trichome img
Developing itb1 trichome

ESEM of a developing trichome on an itb1 mutant leaf. Scale bar is 20 µm.

frc2 img
Mature frc2 trichome

cryo 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.

itb1 trichome

Composite 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.
