As part of a project to investigate the mechanism of cortical microtubule (MT) alignment, we examined the effects of cycloheximide (CHM) on cortical MTs in the root tip cells of Allium cepa L. Results show that although a preprophase band of MTs remained in the cell cortex, interphase MTs disappeared from the cortical cytoplasm and then appeared concomitantly in the inner cytoplasm when the rate of de novo protein synthesis was reduced with CHM (11-360 [mu]M for 2 h)
