Figure 4From: Mechanical stress in Arabidopsis leaves orients microtubules in a 'continuous’ supracellular patternChambers with spacers in between microscopic slide and coverslip. The set-up is illustrated in image a. The root of the plant is pushed in the medium while the leaves are freely present in the upper space, which is filled with distilled water. The lower image is an illustration of the side view, showing that the leaves are not pressured between the microscopic slide and the coverslip. The microtubule response after 6.5 hours is shown in b for a leaf of 19 DAS.Back to article page
