Plant microtubules are key elements of cell growth, division and
morphogenesis. In addition to their role in plant development and
architecture, they have emerged as regulatory elements of
signalling and important targets of evolution.
Since the publication of the first edition of Plant Microtubules
in 2000, our understanding of microtubules and their manifold
functions have advanced substantially. Consisting of the following
three parts, this book highlights the morphogenetic potential of
plant microtubules from three general viewpoints: Microtubules and
Morphogenesis: control of cell axis during division and expansion,
cross-talk with actin filaments, mechanical properties of the cell
wall. Microtubules and Environment: the role of microtubules during
the sensing or response of environmental factors such as pathogens
or abiotic stresses. Microtubules and Evolution: complexity and
specialization of plant microtubules in the context of plant
evolution.
The book is an invaluable source of information for researchers
as well as for graduate and advanced students.
