Fig. 1 (shortened, full legend in paper): Challenges associated with studying microtubules, along with novel technologies that can overcome these obstacles. (A) Microtubule organization within a plant cell is complex and ever evolving. A wealth of microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) are expressed in a cell type-specific and cell cycle-dependent manner to control microtubule kinetics. Together with the intrinsic instability of microtubules, MAP expression leads to highly dynamic microtubule arrays that are locally regulated and undergo rapid transitions, making it imperative to develop ways to capture them with high spatiotemporal resolution. (B) Super-resolution microscopy enables nanometer-scale visualization of microtubule networks, overcoming the resolution limits of conventional microscopy.

🗂️🔬 SPECIAL ISSUE REVIEW 🗂️🔬

In this review, Park & Muroyama discuss the technological advances that are generating new insights into the organization and functions of microtubules in plant cells.

Fig. 1.Nuclear position during cell division. (A) The nucleus moves to the center of the cell during symmetric division in the mother cell. (B) During volumetrically equal asymmetric cell division, the nucleus moves to the center of the cell. (C) During volumetrically distinct asymmetric cell division, the nucleus moves towards the polarized direction.

🔬 SPECIAL ISSUE REVIEW 🔬

📝 This review by Hazelwood et al. highlights the discoveries focused on nuclear position manipulation and the importance of nuclear position in deciding future cell division sites.
