Deskripsi

Land plants lack the cytoplasmic dynein motor in fungi and animals that shows processive minus-end-directed motility on microtubules. Here the authors demonstrate that land plants have evolved novel processive minus-end-directed kinesin-14 motors that likely compensate for the absence of dynein.
