Figure 1.
Live cell imaging of the CSC. The images are taken of YFP-CESA6 fusion within the epidermis of a cotyledon petiole cell (A) and pavement cells (B). Bars = 10 μm. Examples of linear arrays, consisting of CESA6-containing complexes and cortical compartments, are shown by arrowheads. Arrows show Golgi that, in these pictures, yield a saturated signal. A close-up of Golgi taken with a lower exposure is shown in section C, where the characteristic ring-like appearance is observed (arrows). Bar = 3 μm.

Figure 2.
Overview of CSC intracellular trafficking. Shown in purple are hexameric CSC rosettes that are targeted to the plasma membrane (PM) directly from the Golgi (G) or from SmaCC/MASCs (SM). Recycling occurs from the plasma membrane to SmaCC/MASCs (double arrow), and CSC insertion appears to occur only in the vicinity of microtubules (MT). There is a delay following CSC insertion in the plasma membrane and the start of microfibril (MF) biosynthesis. SmaCC/MASCs track along both ends of depolymerizing microtubules.
