Any microtubule in the cytoplasm of a cell. The portion of the microtubule cytoskeleton that lies just beneath the plasma membrane. Any constituent part of the cell cortex, the region of a cell that lies just beneath the plasma membrane and often, but not always, contains a network of actin filaments and associated proteins. Arrays of microtubules underlying and connected to the plasma membrane in the cortical cytosol. Arrays of microtubules underlying and connected to the plasma membrane, in the cortical cytosol, oriented mainly with their axes transverse to the long axis of the cell (and root in plants). In plants it influences the direction of cellulose microfibril deposition.
