Exploring Microtubule-Dependent Cellulose-Synthase-Complex Movement with High Precision Particle Tracking

CELLULOSE SYNTHASE INTERACTIVE3 Regulates Cellulose Biosynthesis in Both a Microtubule-Dependent and Microtubule-Independent Manner in ArabidopsisC

Anisotropic plant cell growth depends on the coordination between the orientation of cortical microtubules and the orientation of nascent cellulose microfibrils. CELLULOSE SYNTHASE INTERACTIVE1 (CSI1) is a key scaffold protein that guides primary cellulose synthase complexes (CSCs) along cortical microtubules during cellulose biosynthesis. Here, we investigated the function of the CSI1-like pro...

Morlin, an inhibitor of cortical microtubule dynamics and cellulose synthase movement.

Morlin (7-ethoxy-4-methyl chromen-2-one) was discovered in a screen of 20,000 compounds for small molecules that cause altered cell morphology resulting in swollen root phenotype in Arabidopsis. Live-cell imaging of fluorescently labeled cellulose synthase (CESA) and microtubules showed that morlin acts on the cortical microtubules and alters the movement of CESA. Morlin caused a novel syndrome...

An Artificial Neural Network for High Precision Eye Movement Tracking

Research of visual cognition often suuers fromvery inexact methods of eye movement recording.A so-called eye tracker, fastened to the test person's head,yields information about pupil position and facing direction related to a computer monitor in front of the subject. It is now a software task to calculate the coordinates of the screen point the person is looking at. Conventional algorithms are...
