Overexpressed TPX2 causes ectopic formation of microtubular arrays in the nuclei of acentrosomal plant cells

Abstract

Collectively, the data suggest that in the acentrosomal plant cell, in conjunction with importin, overexpressed AtTPX2 reinforces microtubule formation in the vicinity of chromatin and the nuclear envelope.
