Arabidopsis cortical microtubules position cellulose synthase delivery to the plasma membrane and interact with cellulose synthase trafficking compartments (2009, background): “A functional YFP::CESA6 fusion protein revealed a patterned distribution of active CESA complexes in the plasma membrane, which localized to and tracked along individual elements of the cortical microtubule arra”
Plant cell membrane as a marker for light-dependent and light-independent herbicide mechanisms of action. (2011, background): “Inhibition of cellulose biosynthesis Cellulose deposition on the outer surface of the plasma membrane is directed by the microtubule cytoskeleton, therefore there is some overlap between the effects of herbicides targeting these two processes [59,60].”
Cellulose Chemistry and Properties: Fibers, Nanocelluloses and Advanced Materials (2016, background): “Champetier and Villard [4] were the first to recognize the potential importance of Bonhoeffer’s observation and performed the first detailed studies on exchange reactions of cellulose.”
Nature’s hierarchical materials (2007, background): “Recently, it is shown that the role of the microtubules is better described as a system which provides guidance for the movement of the cellulose synthase complexes [223].”
Genetic improvement of C4 grasses as cellulosic biofuel feedstocks (2009, background): “…Pilate et al. 2002; Baucher et al. 2003; Li et al. 2003), we are only beginning to unravel the details of cellulose and hemicellulose biosynthesis (Paredez et al. 2006; DeBolt et al. 2007; Desprez et al. 2007; Lindeboom et al. 2008; Paredez et al. 2008; Wang et al. 2008) and the regulation of…”
Plant cell walls: the skeleton of the plant world (2010, background): “Evidence accumulated over many decades, including the observations of co-alignment of cortical microtubules and cellulose microfibrils and a loss of directed cell expansion and CSC mobility upon microtubule disruption (Gardiner et al. 2003; Somerville et al. 2004; Paredez et al. 2006; DeBolt et al. ”
Cell-wall carbohydrates and their modification as a resource for biofuels. (2008, background): “These microfibrils are deposited in a pattern that reflects the orientation of the cortical microtubules present on the cytosolic side of the plasma membrane (Paredez et al., 2006).”
Differential Expansion and Expression of α- and β-Tubulin Gene Families in Populus1[W][OA] (2007, background): “Available molecular evidence thus supports in situ and, recently, in vivo visualization studies for a role of cortical MTs in the deposition and orientation of cellulose microfibrils (Ledbetter and Porter, 1963; Giddings and Staehelin, 1991; Paredez et al., 2006).”
