Abstract excerpt
Small peptides derived from the CLAVATA3/EMBRYO SURROUNDING REGION-related (CLE) gene family play a key role in various cell-cell communications in land plants. Among them, tracheary element differentiation inhibition factor (TDIF; CLE41/CLE44 peptide) and CLE42 peptide of Arabidopsis have almost identical amino acid sequences and act as inhibitors of tracheary element differentiation. In this study, we report a...
