loss of KTN1 prevented random microtubule networks from shifting into well-ordered arrays. We further showed that the filamentous actin cap, which is a typical feature of several plant epidermal cell types including root hairs and leaf trichomes, was not observed in the growth apexes of conical cells during cell development.

study discovered that microtubule severing by the protein katanin plays a crucial and unexpected role in the reorientation of cortical arrays, as triggered by blue light
Title: A mechanism for reorientation of cortical microtubule arrays driven by microtubule severing.

Severing at cortical microtubule crossover sites was completely abolished in the Arabidopsis katanin mutant. Consistent with this finding, GFP-tagged katanin driven by its native promoter localizes at sites of CMT crossover prior to severing.
Title: Microtubule severing at crossover sites by katanin generates ordered cortical microtubule arrays in Arabidopsis.

Study shows that the microtubule-severing protein katanin is required to orchestrate growth between neighboring cells by providing cells with the ability to respond efficiently to mechanical stress.
Title: Mechanical stress acts via katanin to amplify differences in growth rate between adjacent cells in Arabidopsis.

The role of katanin, the only known plant microtubule-severing protein, in the organization of cortical microtubules in A. thaliana is reported.
Title: Katanin's severing activity favors bundling of cortical microtubules in plants.
