is a specific gene encoding a -tubulin protein, which is a fundamental building block of microtubules in plants. While researchers study various
-tubulin genes. Unlike other tubulins that may be found throughout the plant, TUB8 shows distinct spatial preferences: is a specific gene encoding a -tubulin protein,
: It is preferentially expressed in the endodermal and phloem cells of primary roots and in the vascular tissues of leaves, stems, and flowers. and flowers. : Like all tubulins
: Like all tubulins, it helps form the cytoskeleton, which is essential for cell division, shape, and internal transport. Response to Environmental Stress it helps form the cytoskeleton
