[Abstract] Maize leaves grow in a gradient. The base of young maize leaves contains a high proportion of symmetrically and asymmetrically dividing cells, making the leaf an effective model system for the study of cell division. Here, we describe a double staining method to visualize actin filaments and microtubules in fixed maize leaf tissues, using immunofluorescent staining for microtubules and fluorescent phalloidin staining for actin filaments. This method provides a technique for the study of the cytoskeleton during maize cell division.
