Two-step polar plastid migration via F-actin and microtubules ensures unequal inheritance during asymmetric division of Arabidopsis zygote

Keigo Tada, Hikari Matsumoto, Takao Oi…·Minako Ueda

The paper shows that plastids in Arabidopsis zygote undergo two-step migration via F-actin and microtubules, leading to unequal inheritance during asymmetric division.
