The first 10% of the full text of this article appears below.

Since their first description in plant cells four decades ago (Ledbetter and Porter 1963), cortical microtubules have been the subject of research that has primarily focussed on the relationship between cortical microtubule orientation and cellulose microfibril alignment during morphogenesis. This research has emphasized microtubules behaving as static elements, with their structural properties put to useful work as scaffolds and barriers. Just how microtubules do this, however, is still a matter of debate, and recent . . . [Full Text of this Article]
