In plants, actin dynamics are regulated by actin-associated proteins. There are multiple processes in the plants that are carried out due to these proteins. Some of the processes include growing filaments, capping the filaments at either end so new monomers cannot be added or removed, severing actin filaments, and budnling together several actin filaments. Myosin are motors that are able to walk along the actin filaments towards the plus end promoting growth of the filament. Dyneins are able to walk towards the minus ends, but this motor protein only appears in animals cells, not plant cells.
