In plant cells, microtubules (MTs) in the cytokinetic apparatus phragmoplast exhibit an
antiparallel array and transport Golgi-derived vesicles toward MT plus ends located at or …

Plant cytokinesis is brought about by the phragmoplast, which contains an antiparallel
microtubule (MT) array. The MT-associated protein MAP65-3 acts as an MT-bundling factor …

Highlights•The phragmoplast is assembled by mini-phragmoplast modules.•The microtubule
overlapping zone in the phragmoplast is established by the coordinated activities of the …

In higher plants, the formation of the cell plate during cytokinesis requires coordinated
microtubule (MT) reorganization and vesicle transport in the phragmoplast. MT-based …

The phragmoplast, a plant-specific apparatus that mediates cytokinesis, mainly consists of
microtubules (MTs) arranged in a bipolar fashion, such that their plus ends interdigitate at …

Cytokinesis in higher plant cells is mediated by the phragmoplast. The framework of the
phragmoplast consists of two anti-parallel sets of microtubules with their plus ends facing …

The evolutionarily conserved MAP 65 family proteins bundle anti‐parallel microtubules (MT
s). In Arabidopsis thaliana, mutations in the MAP 65‐3 gene lead to serious defects in MT …

The cell plate of higher plants is formed within a ribosome-excluding cell plate assembly
matrix. Phragmoplast microtubules facilitate cell-plate formation by forming a scaffold that …

Directional cell expansion in interphase and nuclear and cell division in M-phase are
mediated by four microtubule arrays, three of which are unique to plants: the interphase …

Microtubules form arrays with parallel and antiparallel bundles and function in various
cellular processes, including subcellular transport and cell division. The antiparallel bundles …
