Formins: Emerging Players in the Dynamic Plant Cell Cortex

Figure 1

Schematic representation of the effects of perturbations of the actin (red) or tubulin (blue) networks in a tip-growing plant cell by pharmacological treatments or mutations, which reveal distinct roles for thick actin cables, fine cortical actin network, and microtubules. Ory: oryzalin, LatB: latrunculin B, and Jas: jasplakinolide. Growing portion of the cell surface is shown in yellow; shading indicates the levels of monomeric G-actin.
