Cartoon representing the step of cell division in plant. Central division zone (CDZ) in blue, Actin microfilaments (MF) in pink, nucleus in dark blue, growing cell plate in gray. Note that in prophase actin MF localizes at the CDZ while it is excluded shortly before metaphase (ADZ) when actin “twin peaks” can be observed (pink arrows). In anaphase/metaphase transition a strong actin MF signal is observed at the apical/basal region of the cells (arrowhead). At the end of the telophase the expanding cell plate will join the PM of the mother cell by excluding proteins from the CDZ and therefore forming the cell-plate fusion site (gray arrow).
