Abstract excerpt
Loss-of-function mutations of SQUINT (SQN)-which encodes the Arabidopsis orthologue of cyclophilin 40 (CyP40)-cause the precocious expression of adult vegetative traits, an increase in carpel number, and produce abnormal spacing of flowers in the inflorescence. Here we show that the vegetative phenotype of sqn is attributable to the elevated expression of miR156-regulated members of the SPL family of...
