Summary Methyl jasmonate, a growth-regulating substance that is ubiquitous in the plant kingdom, was found to disrupt cortical microtubules in tobacco cultured cells. It exerted a microtubule-disrupting effect only in cells at the S phase of the cell cycle. Neither microtubules in preprophase bands, spindles and phragmoplasts nor cortical microtubules at stages of the cell cycle other than the S phase were disrupted by methyl jasmonate. Jasmonic acid was as effective as methyl jasmonate in disrupting cortical microtubules.
