A mutation in the Arabidopsis gamma-tubulin-containing complex causes helical growth and abnormal microtubule branching.

Abstract excerpt

Plant cortical microtubules are mainly nucleated on previously established microtubules, grow at a narrow range of angles to the wall of mother microtubules, and eventually are released from the nucleation sites. These nucleation events are thought to be regulated by gamma-tubulin-containing complexes. We here show that a null mutation of Arabidopsis GCP2, a core subunit of the gamma-tubulin-containing complex,...
