Abstract

The plant microtubule cytoskeleton forms unique arrays during cell division and morphogenesis. Recent studies have addressed the biogenesis, turnover, spatio-temporal organisation and cellular function of microtubules. The results suggest that both conserved eukaryotic mechanisms and plant-specific modifications determine microtubule dynamics and function.
