Plant Cell Biology (Music Videos)

Synopsis: An original and entertaining series of four music videos put together from scientific microscopy movies creted by the Oxford Brookes Plant Cell Biology Group and music composed by the musicians Professor Science, Cyrus Mower and Dr Lorenzo Frigerio.
-GOLGY LULLABY: Dancing fluorescent Golgi bodies in tobacco leaf cells, visualised with confocal laser scanning microscopy. Plant Golgi bodies move through the cell along the actin cytoskeleton. We are able to see them with a light microscope with the help of green fluorescent protein.[2 minutes]
-THE GOLGI APPARATUS: The function and organisation of the plant secretory pathway and use of confocal laser scanning/electron microscopy allows us to take a closer look at our plant cells.[3 minutes]
-THE VACUOLE SONG: An organelle which is present in all plant and fungal cells and some protist, animal and bacterial is explained.[3 minutes]
-POWER BACK: THE MITOCHONDRIA: Movies in this video show mitochondria and other organelles in plant cells made visible with fluorescent proteins.[4 minutes]
