Abstract excerpt
Mechanisms that govern the size of plant organs are not well understood but believed to involve both sensing and signaling at the cellular level. We have isolated loss-of-function mutations in the four genes comprising the transmembrane kinase TMK subfamily of receptor-like kinases (RLKs) in Arabidopsis. These TMKs have an extracellular leucine-rich-repeat motif, a single transmembrane region, and a cytoplasmic...
