Confocal images of actin-labelled Arabidopsis cells expressing the reporter construct 35S::GFP-FABD2, showing the actin patterns in growing cells and the orientation of cells as they interact with the scaffold. a A pinched cell expanding. Microfibres exist in front of and behind the constriction point (arrow) b Spiral shape of cell as it attached, interacted and wound around fibres inside the scaffold. Red arrows indicate points of cell-fibre interactions. The large mass of actin corresponds to the nuclear basket. Scale bars: 100 μm
