SPIRAL1-LIKE2 belongs to a six-member gene family in Arabidopsis; all members share a high sequence similarity in amino- and carboxy-terminal regions. Regulates cortical microtubule organization. Mutant plants exhibit altered patterns of root and organ growth as a result of defective anisotropic cell expansion.
