Microtubules have a key role in plant morphogenesis, as they control the oriented deposition
of cellulose in the cell wall, and thus growth anisotropy. The idea that mechanical stress …

Development is remarkably reproducible, producing organs with the same size, shape, and
function repeatedly from individual to individual. For example, every flower on the …

Microtubules (MTs) are highly conserved polar polymers that are key elements of the
eukaryotic cytoskeleton and are essential for various cell functions. αβ-tubulin, a …

Many cell functions rely on the ability of microtubules to self-organize as complex networks.
In plants, cortical microtubules are essential to determine cell shape as they guide the …

The cytoskeleton plays a key role in establishing robust cell shape. In animals, it is well
established that cell shape can also influence cytoskeletal organization. Cytoskeletal …

One of the defining characteristics of plant growth and morphology is the pivotal role of cell
expansion. While the mechanical properties of the cell wall determine both the extent and …

Movement of secretory organelles is a fascinating yet largely mysterious feature of
eukaryotic cells. Microtubule‐based endomembrane and organelle motility utilizing the …

The dynamic arrangement of cortical microtubules (MTs) plays a pivotal role in controlling
cell growth and shape formation in plants, but the mechanisms by which cortical MTs are …

Plant morphogenesis is strongly dependent on the directional growth and the subsequent
oriented division of individual cells. It has been shown that the plant cortical microtubule …

Cells grow, move, and respond to outside stimuli by large-scale cytoskeletal reorganization.
A prototypical example of cytoskeletal remodeling is mitotic spindle assembly, during which …
