Abstract excerpt
The proper organization of cortical microtubule arrays is essential for anisotropic growth in plants but how distinct array patterns are formed is not understood. Here, we report a relationship between microtubule dynamics and array organization using transgenic plants expressing modified tubulins. When green fluorescent protein (GFP) or a hemaglutinin epitope tag was fused to the N-terminus of tubulins and...
