Plastid Stromule Branching Coincides with Contiguous Endoplasmic Reticulum Dynamics. Plant Physiology |
On the Cover: Sporadically, plastids extend and retract stroma-filled tubules called “stromules” that branch and form polygons. Schattat et al. (1667–1677) visualized stromules and the neighboring endoplasmic reticulum (ER) simultaneously and observed a high degree of coincidence in their dynamic behavior. Their findings open new avenues for understanding mechanisms of transfer and exchange of lipids and metabolites between plastids and the ER. The cover picture shows a three-dimensional volume rendered ferredoxin NADP(H) oxidoreductase-enhanced green fluorescent protein-labeled chloroplast in a confocal image with stromule branches extending along the red fluorescent protein-HDEL-highlighted ER.

mEosFP based green to red photoconvertible subcellular probes for plants. Plant Physiology |
On the Cover: Photoconvertible fluorescent proteins are a recent addition to the cell biologists' toolbox. Mathur et al. (pp. 1573–1587) describe several subcellular targeted green-to-red photoconvertible mEosFP probes and discuss their potential applications and caveats. The cover image, taken by Dr. Jaideep Mathur, shows a pair of guard cells from an Arabidopsis plant expressing mEosFP targeted to cortical microtubules. The cells were exposed to an asymmetrically localized beam of violet-blue light for creating the range of hues that is achievable through photoconversion of the green form of mEosFP. Complete photoconversion results in red color, whereas orangeyellow shades represent partial photoconversion. Chlorophyll autofluorescence is clearly discriminated from mEosFP fluorescence and depicted in blue. — http://www.plantphysiol.org/content/vol154/issue4/cover.dtl |
