ONLINE COVER
Maximum-intensity projection of a confocal image of epidermal cells from the Thale cress roots, where four colors stain different cell parts. 

Goldy et al. demonstrate that the protein actin allows cells to override standard division rules by stabilizing the orientation of spindles, which segregate chromosomes during mitosis. This uncovers a previously under-appreciated role for actin cytoskeletons, providing new insight into how division orientation is controlled to ensure robust tissue architecture during plant growth.
