A role for preprophase bands of microtubules in maturation of new cell walls, and a general proposal on the function of preprophase band sites in cell division in higher plants. J. Cell Sci. 97, 527-537 (1990). A classic study showing that when new cell walls are forced to attach somewhere other than the former PPB site, they fail to mature normally. This leads to the proposal that the PPB directs the deposition of cell wall maturation factors at the division site during prophase, which are transferred to the new wall if it attaches at this site.
