Caffeine arrests the phragmoplast at the onset of late expansion and causes the immature cell plate, microtubules and microfilaments to break down. Visualization of microfilaments with high concentrations of fluorescent phalloidin reveals actin patches in cortical 'zone of actin depletion' (ZAD) as well as microfilaments extending from ZAD to expanding phragmoplast, suggesting a role of actin in phragmoplast guidance.

The distribution of GFP fused to soybean phragmoplastin was studied during cytokinesis of untreated, caffeine-treated and taxol-treated tobacco BY-2 cells. Preferential localization of phragmoplastin to the edge of the growing cell plate suggests involvement in early fusion, possibly in the formation of fusion tubes.

Detailed immunofluorescence study reveals KNOLLE distribution during the cell cycle, including during cell plate formation, and in various tissues which exhibit different modes of cytokinesis. Electron microscope analysis of knolle mutant cells indicates that vesicle fusion is impaired.
