Title:
Time-Lapse Characterization of Arabidopsis Starch Metabolism Mutants
Description:
During the early exponential growth phase of plants, the majority of photoassimilates are reinvested into new leaf material. Leaf area, one of many growth parameters, has been examined by time-lapse photography in Arabidopsis starch metabolism mutants. The irregular shape of leaves can make measurement by traditional means difficult, especially for large numbers of plants. By taking a digital picture of the leaves to be measured, along with an object of known size, the pixel area of the leaves can be can quantified into physical units. This is accomplished using the color range and histogram tools in Adobe Photoshop. A screen capture demonstration of this process is available on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3O-V6WLw0g). The accompanying song, Claire de Lune, was composed by Claude Debussy and performed by pianist Van Cliburn. For more plant biology related videos, please visit www.ChloroFilms.org.

 | Rhythm and Snooze -- Circadian Genes We know that our sleep-wake patterns are regulated by our circadian rhythm — our internal clock. And now doctors are learning more about a set of genes responsible for making this clock tick. They also are discovering the circadian rhythms for vital organs — working in unison to create a living, breathing, walking clock. This system of "circadian genes" is responsible for regulating the sleep-wake cycle of other genes as we are proving that one's body is comprised of a series of circadian ... |

Near the top of the image is a mitotic spindle that transforms into a phragmoplast, with a clearly visible midzone. As the phragmoplast matures, the microtubules are disassembled near its center and reassembled at its phragmoplast edge, leading to the formation of a ring phragmoplast, only two edges of which are visible in this focal plane. Movie 90x magnification and 90x real speed. See www ... |

 | pressure bomb This video is a visual 10 step instruction manual how to use a pressure bomb for measuring water pressure in the xylem of transpiring leaves. It is an entry for the www.chlorofilms.org video competition. Water in the xylem is under negative pressure. This tension can be measured by a pressure bomb. Tension pressure in a non-transpiring leaf is equivalent to water potential of cells surrounding the xylem (mesophyll cells), because the xylems osmotic potential is negligible. A single leaf is ... |
