Fig. 2. Cortical microtubule recovery patterns after drug-induced microtubule disassembly. (A) Microtubules appear to diverge from the initial assembly site, forming fractal tree-shaped clusters, with microtubules diverging from each other at acute angles (figure adapted from Wasteneys and Williamson, 1989b). (B) Clusters eventually break up. (C) Later in recovery, parallel microtubule order begins to consolidate but some branching configurations and discordant microtubules persist. Bar, 10 µm.
