Abstract excerpt
Arabidopsis thaliana encodes 56 subtilisin-like serine proteases (subtilases), and some are involved in the proteolytic processing of plant peptide hormones. Here, we have investigated the role of one subtilase, AtSBT5.4, in whole plant physiology by examining gain- or loss-of-function phenotypes. Knockouts of AtSBT5.4 had no apparent phenotype; however, overexpression produced a clavata-like phenotype with...
