Abstract
Although budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is widely used as a model organism in biological research, studying cell biology in yeast was hindered due to its small size, rounded morphology, and cell wall. However, with improved techniques, researchers can acquire high-resolution images and carry out rapid multidimensional analysis of a yeast cell. As a result, imaging in yeast has emerged as an important tool to study cytoskeletal organization, function, and dynamics. This chapter describes techniques and approaches for visualizing the actin cytoskeleton in live yeast cells.Entities:
