This is a time-lapse movie of microtubules (visualized using a GFP-Tubulin reporter) in the Arabidopsis thaliana mutant mor1-1. Shown is a cotyledon epidermal cell. Colored dots mark the dynamic plus ends. Notably, microtubule dynamics are dampened in the mor1-1 mutant at restrictive temperature (31 degrees C). The movie is played at 7 frames per second, or 56x real time. The bar represents 10 microns (1/100th of a mm). For more, visit http://www.botany.ubc.ca/wasteneys/.
