title: Imaging and quantitative methods for studying cytoskeletal rearrangements during root development and gravitropism.
abstract: High-resolution imaging of cytoskeletal structures paves the way for standardized methods to quantify cytoskeletal organization. Here we provide a detailed description of the analysis performed to determine the microtubule patterns in gravistimulated roots, using the recently developed software tool MicroFilament Analyzer.
