Observing cellulose synthases at emerging secondary thickenings in developing xylem vessels of the plant root using airyscan confocal microscopy.

ABSTRACT: Movement of cellulose synthase particles have so far been observed on the plant epidermis that are amenable to confocal imaging, yielding appreciable signal and resolution to observe small plasma membrane-localised particles. Presented here is a method, using airyscan confocal microscopy, that permits similar information to be obtained at depth within the developing protoxylem vessels of intact roots.
