This mutation produced a phenotype with reduced cell elongation, which suggests katanin's significance in development across a wide range of organisms.

During cell elongation, microtubules must adjust their orientation constantly to keep up with the increasing cell length.

They affect cell elongation by altering cell wall plasticity.

Such responses include, but are not limited to: less frequent cell divisions and reduction of cell elongation.

Promotion of cell expansion and cell elongation; works with auxin to do so.

In addition to growth by cell division, a plant may grow through cell elongation.

They stimulate cell elongation, breaking and budding, seedless fruits, and seed germination.

Gibberellin is a plant hormone that promotes cell elongation, flower formation, and seedling growth.

It inhibits cell division and cell elongation.

These processes were considered to represent a precursor to cell elongation, interconnections of cells, and eventual tubule formation.
