Quantitative imaging and analysis of the plant nucleus in 3D
A major bottleneck towards a better understanding of nuclear organization and function in plants is the lack of dedicated imaging and analysis procedures that meet the challenges of plant cells. WG1 aims to coordinate efforts to improve sample preparation, image acquisition and analysis approaches that meet the specific challenges of plants and will allow imaging plant nuclei in their tissue context as part of a living organism.
Workgroup 1 has established a free-to-access Image Repository hosted by OMERO at Florida State University through a collaboration with Professor Hank Bass.
