Fig. 12From: SF-Assemblin genes in Paramecium: phylogeny and phenotypes of RNAi silencing on the ciliary-striated rootlets and surface organizationDepletion of Structural Groups causing changes in the striation pattern of SRs. Panels show representative transmission electron microscopy images of the striation pattern of negatively stained SRs from Control, Paralog Group- or Structural Group-depleted cells. In Control and Paralog Group-depleted cells, major striations occur at 24–36 nm intervals (red bracket). Scale bars are 50 nm. In Structural Group-depleted cells, the striation pattern appears alteredBack to article page
