Mutated genes
Locus name	AT1G80350
Alias	BOT1
Organism	Arabidopsis thaliana
Description	encodes a p60 katanin protein that is expressed throughout the plant. Required for the specification of cell fates from early in development (in the meristem) through differentiation and for normal postmitotic organization of cortical microtubules into transverse arrays in root epidermis cells. Mutants display cytoskeletal defects
