Development 1997, 124:3779-3786. This paper describes a thorough genetic analysis of trichome branching. The authors propose that trichome branching is regulated by cell size, and that branch number is controlled by both positive and negative regulators. In addition, the authors suggest that the primary and secondary branching events are genetically distinct. Genetic analysis of newly identified trichome branch number mutants, however, suggests that the branching events are not genetically separable.

This paper describes a thorough genetic analysis of mutations in six new loci that control root hair initiation. On the basis of the characterization of the new mutants and on the results of the genetic interactions among these new mutations, the authors propose a model for the root hair initiation pathway.

Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 1997, 94:6261-6266. This paper describes the cloning of the ZWI gene and its identification as a member of the kinesin superfamily of motor proteins. The gene was cloned using a T-DNA-tagged zwi allele, and is the first plant kinesin-related gene for which a mutant phenotype is known.

The authors use immunofluorescence techniques to localize KCBP in Arabidopsis and tobacco cells. This work provides evidence that KCBP may function in the formation or rearrangement of microtubule arrays.

The author also outlines important unanswered questions concerning motor protein regulation and targeting and provides a framework for the future direction of motor protein research.

22. 2+ caimodulin inhibited the interaction of KCBP with microtubules, the authors found an additional microtubule binding site in the tail domain (the putative cargo-binding domain) of KCBP. This work provides strong evidence that KCBP may be involved in movement or rearrangement of microtubule arrays.
