Confocal section of midgut of tobacco hornworm caterpillar; actin (green), endomembranes (red) and DNA (blue).

Common green hydra (Chlorohydra viridissima), showing autofluorescent symbiotic Zoochlorella alga (blue), endomembranes (red), and nuclei (green).

Tobacco pollen tubes used as a model for studying polarized cell elongation.

A model of the synthesis of tapetosomes in the tapetum cells in Brassica. In A, the ER initially may be attached to the lipid droplet. In D, the mature tapetosome is composed of triacylglycerol droplets (dark areas) among vesicles derived from the ER. E. A 3-D model of the synthesis of tapetosomes from stacks of ER converging on the TAG droplets.

Arabidopsis leaf epidermal cells transformed with GFP-tubulin to show the pattern of microtubules that regulate cell morphogenesis.

"F-actin in leaf epidermal cells visualized using green fluorescence protein fused to mouse talin. Shown are three cells localized at the base, middle, and the tip of an Arabidopsis leaf (shown in Red)."
