Role of the SPIRAL1 gene family in anisotropic growth of Arabidopsis thaliana.

Plant & cell physiology - 1 Apr 2006

Nakajima Keiji, Kawamura Tomomi, Hashimoto Takashi

Abstract excerpt

Arabidopsis spiral1 (spr1) mutants show a right-handed helical growth phenotype in roots and etiolated hypocotyls due to impaired directional growth of rapidly expanding cells. SPR1 encodes a small protein with as yet unknown biochemical functions, though its localization to cortical microtubules (MTs) suggests that SPR1 maintains directional cell expansion by regulating cortical MT functions. The Arabidopsis...
