Cell Biol Int. 2020 Jun;44(6):1262-1266. doi: 10.1002/cbin.11224. Epub 2019 Dec 2.

Abstract

This survey paper contains a brief analysis of publications included in the special issue of the scientific journal Cell Biology International titled "Plant Cytoskeleton Structure, Dynamics and Functions". The manuscripts in this special issue reflect some new aspects of plant cytoskeleton organization, signaling and functioning, and results from different Ukrainian research groups, and focuses on bringing together scientists working across different instrumental scales.
