| Name | The Illuminated Plant Cell |
| Description | The modern biologist has a palette comprising of genetically encoded, multicolored fluorescent proteins and treats the living cell as a 'coloring book'. Today, nearly every ‘text book’ organelle has been highlighted in scintillating fluorescent colors. As we thread our way through the ‘omics era and look forward to comprehensive, systems based approaches, this interactive animation provides a concise documentation of the various fluorescent protein-based probes that have lighted up the plant cell. The Illuminated cell represents the first milestone in our journey into the dark interior of the walled plant cell and heralds a new direction in plant research that will rely on Early Intracellular Response Profiling (EIRP) for understanding plant response to diverse environmental cues. |
