Abstract excerpt
In early eukaryotes, the microtubule system was engaged in mitosis, intracellular transport, and flagellum-based motility. In the plant lineage, the evolution of a multicellular body involved the conservation of some core functions, the loss of others, and the elaboration of new microtubule functions associated with the multicellular plant habit. This diversification is reflected by the presence of both conserved...
