Abstract
The CLAVATA3/ESR-related (CLE) gene family has 31 CLE members in the Arabidopsis genome [ 1 ]. CLE sequences share a short conserved region of 14 amino acids [ 2 ] and are thought to function in plant morphogenesis as intercellular signaling molecules [ 3 , 4 ].
This entry includes CLE27 and CLE43. CLE27 may have redundant roles with CLE16 and CLE17 in the Arabidopsis shoot apical meristem [ 5 ].
