By Xiayan Liu and Fei Yu Chen et al. explore the relationship between the microtubule-associated protein MOR1 and the microtubule-severing protein KATANIN1. Background: Microtubules (MTs) are highly dynamic cytoskeletal structures with essential functions in cell morphogenesis and cell division. Adapting to their sessile lifestyle, land plants have evolved unique MT arrays at different stages of […]
