Abstract

Changes in the distribution of microtubules (MT) and actin filaments were examined in suspension-cultured spruce cells [Picea abies (L.) KARST.] that were exposed to different concentrations (500 and I 000 µM) of exogenously applied reduced glutathione (GSH). Using fluorescence microscopy the MT were visualized with monoclonal anti-tubulin antibodies and actin filaments were stained with rhodamin labelled phalloidin (RLP). GSH-treated callus cells showed modifications on the form and arrangement of both cytoskeletal elements, when compared to the control.
