Over-expression of CAP causes organ size reduction
Cyclase-associated protein (CAP) is a multifunctional protein involved in signal transduction and regulation of actin cytoskeleton. Barrero et al. (pp. 599-603) show that over-expression of AtCAP1 in transgenic tobacco plants decreased leaf organ size by reducing cell expansion in both epidermal and mesophyll cells.
