From: A new kymogram-based method reveals unexpected effects of marker protein expression and spatial anisotropy of cytoskeletal dynamics in plant cell cortex

Fig. 10

Lateral mobility of microtubules, but not microtubule end dynamics, is anisotropic in elongated cells. Data from VAEM recordings of 20–30 hypocotyl epidermal cells from 3 wt seedlings expressing GFP-MAP4. Two 2 μm transects per cell and direction were measured. a Definition of transect directions used. b Microtubule stability (top) and lateral mobility (bottom) measured by QuACK on transects following the directions shown in (a). Statistical significance of differences between the indicated directions determined by Wilcoxon–Mann–Whitney test is denoted by asterisks (** for p < 0.01). NS not significant (p > 0.05)
