Live Imaging of Sepal Development (IMAGE)
Caption
To determine how the cell division pattern contributes to cell size in the sepal, an individual sepal was imaged every six hours for 72 hours. The volume rendering of the first time point (0 hours) is shown in orange and of the last time point (72 hours) in green, revealing the growth of the sepal in that time period. Note that the initial sepal has all small nuclei -- indicating that all cells are still dividing -- while the mature sepal has some enlarged nuclei. In that latter group, the cells have stopped dividing and entered endoreduplication to become giant cells.
