Abstract

Microtubule-associated protein 70 (MAP70) are plant-specific proteins that interact with microtubules. In Arabidopsis thaliana, there are five MAP70 genes (MAP70-1/2/3/4/5). MAP70-1 associates with MAP70-5 and is essential for the normal banding pattern of secondary cell wall and for the proper development of xylem tracheary elements and wood formation [ 1 , 2 ].
