Abstract excerpt
The tobacco mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase NPK1 localizes to the equatorial region of phragmoplasts by interacting with kinesin-like protein NACK1. This leads to activation of NPK1 kinase at late M phase, which is necessary for cell plate formation. Until now, its localization during interphase has not been reported. We investigated the subcellular localization of NPK1 in tobacco-cultured BY-2...
