Microtubule dynamics in living dividing plant cells: confocal imaging of microinjected fluorescent brain tubulin.
Open accessAbstract
Carboxyfluorescein-labeled brain tubulin has been microinjected into stamen hair cells of Tradescantia, and its distribution during mitosis and cytokinesis was examined using confocal laser scanning fluorescence microscopy. The results show that brain tubulin incorporates into plant microtubules and is utilized throughout mitosis and cytokinesis. Microtubule structures that incorporate brain tubulin include the preprophase band, the perinuclear sheath at late prophase, the kinetochore fibers during prometaphase, metaphase, and anaphase, the interzone spindle during anaphase, and finally the phragmoplast during late anaphase and telophase. All of these microtubule-containing structures and, notably, their transitions from one to another have been observed in single live cells progressing through mitosis and cytokinesis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
