| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It is not well known how microtubules are assembled into higher order structures and form diverse array patterns in acentrosomal plant cells. To ultimately construct ordered microtubule patterns in vitro, this study established an efficient purification method that purify polymerization-competent tubulins from the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, and analyzed detailed nucleation patterns of cortical microtubules in Arabidopsis epidermal cells.
