The plant cell wall, a rigid structural layer that surrounds each plant cell, is critical for regulating and controlling cell growth. Microtubules play a role in the production of cell walls by regulating the transport and deposition of cell wall components in a spatial and temporal manner. The dynamic behavior of microtubules and their anchoring to the plasma membrane are factors that contribute to the achievement of production of the cell wall and growth of the cell. This mini review provides an overview of the plant cell wall and its dynamic interactions with microtubules. It emphasizes the role of specific proteins that mediate these interactions, supported by experimental evidence from mutant studies.
