<p>Plant cells house highly dynamic cytoskeletal networks of microtubules and actin microfilaments. They constantly undergo remodeling to fulfill their roles in supporting cell division, enlargement, and differentiation. Following early studies on structural aspects of the networks, recent breakthro
This new volume of <i>Methods in Enzymology</i> continues the legacy of this premier serial with quality chapters authored by leaders in the field.
