Laser trapping of micron-sized particles can be achieved utilizing the radiation pressure generated by a focused infrared laser beam Thus, it is theoretically possible to trap and manipulate organelles within the cytoplasm and remodel the architecture of the cytoplasm and membrane systems Here we describe recent progress, using this under utilized technology in the manipulation of cytoplasmic strands and organelles in plant cells
