N2 - We are currently witnessing the discovery of many novel proteins that are associated with cytoskeletal activity. Integrated analyses of growth, cytoskeletal and cell-wall patterns are yielding surprising results, which demand reflection on the current model for wall construction. Meanwhile, research on actin filament and microtubule activity during gravitropic bending and trichome morphogenesis is stimulating new ideas about the establishment and maintenance of polarity.
