Fig. 7. F-actin organization in expanding cotyledon pavement cells transiently
expressing GFP-talin. (A-C) Columbia wild-type (surface area is
2220 µm2 for cell in A and 5660 µm2 for cell in
C); (D-F) brk1-1 mutant. White arrowheads indicate local
enrichments of cortical F-actin associated with apparently emerging lobes;
gray arrowheads indicate enrichments that do not appear to be associated with
emerging lobes. Scale bar: 13 µm. (G) Quantitative analysis of
cortical F-actin distribution in wild type (n=22 cells) and
brk1-1 mutant (n=36 cells). Bright actin, upper half of the
fluorescence intensity range; intermediate actin, 25-50% of range; dim actin,
bottom 25% of range. Error bars shown are s.e.m.
