Abstract

The use of fluorescent proteins and live cell imaging has greatly increased our knowledge of cell biology in recent years. Not only can these technologies be used to study protein trafficking under different conditions, but they have also been of use in elucidating the relationships between different organelles in a noninvasive manner. The use of multiple different fluorochromes allows the observation of interactions between organelles and between proteins, making this one of the fastest‐developing and exciting fields at this time. In this review, we discuss the multitude of fluorescent markers that have been generated to study the plant secretory pathway. Although these markers have been used to solve many mysteries in this field, some areas that require further discussion remain. Microsc. Res. Tech. 69:152–159, 2006. Β© 2006 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

The green‐fluorescent protein (GFP) from jellyfish __Aequorea victoria__ has been used as a convenient new vital marker in various heterologous systems. However, it has been problematic to express GFP in higher eukaryotes, especially in higher plants. This paper reports that either a strong constitu

Tetrahymena themphila is a ciliated protozoan studied by investigators from a wide range of disciplines as a model system for a variety of specialized eukaryotic cell functions. The proteinaceous secretory products of T thermophila have been isolated and characterized [l] and in this study we identi
