Abstract: Microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) bind to microtubules specifically and are involved in the regulation of microtubule dynamics and its related functions. In recent years, more plant MAPs have been identified, and their structures and functions have been further investigated intensively. In this review, we focus on the recent progress in study of the MAPs katanin, MAP65, MAPEB1, MOR1, SPR and WVD2.
