Abstract excerpt
Thermospermine plays a critical role in negatively regulating xylem development in angiosperms. A mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana that is defective in thermospermine biosynthesis, acaulis5 (acl5), exhibits a dwarf phenotype with excessive xylem formation. Mechanistically thermospermine acts in attenuating the inhibitory effect of an evolutionarily conserved upstream open reading frame (uORF) on the main ORF of...
