Abstract excerpt
The intact cell wall is the prerequisite for plant cell morphogenesis. Loss of function in FRA1/KINESIN-4A, which encodes a microtubule-based kinesin motor, causes dwarfed growth phenotypes with reduced cell wall mechanics. However, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here, using genetic screening, we identify a suppressor of fra1 (sofa1) mutation that specifically suppresses the dwarf phenotype of the fra1...
