Part A - Microtubules and Morphogenesis Control of Cell Axis (Peter Nick) Microtubules and Actin Microfilaments (David Collings) Part B - Microtubules and Environment Wood Formation (Ryo Funada) Microtubules and Pathogen Defence (Issei Kobayashi) Microtubules and Viral Movement (Manfred Heinlein) Microtubules as Sensors for Abiotic Stimuli (Peter Nick) Part C - Microtubules and Evolution Regulation of Tubulin Genes (Diego Breviario) Microtubules and the Evolution of Mitosis (Anne-Catherine Schmit and Peter Nick)

Since the publication of the first edition of Plant Microtubules in 2000, our understanding of microtubules and their manifold functions have advanced substantially. This revised edition highlights the morphogenetic potential of plant microtubules from three general viewpoints: Microtubules and Morphogenesis, Microtubules and Environment, Microtubules and Evolution. The book is an invaluable source of information for researchers as well as for graduate and advanced students.
