Abstract excerpt
In a genetic screen for Arabidopsis mutants displaying pleiotropic alterations in vegetative development and stress responses we have identified a T-DNA insertion mutation in the Cap Binding Protein 20 (CBP20) gene, that encodes the 20kDa subunit of the nuclear mRNA cap binding complex (nCBC). Plants homozygous for the recessive cbp20 mutation show mild developmental abnormalities, such as serrated rosette...
