Binding of the Cyclophilin 40 Ortholog SQUINT to Hsp90 Protein Is Required for SQUINT Function in Arabidopsis

Cyclophilin 40 is required for microRNA activity in Arabidopsis.

Loss-of-function mutations of SQUINT (SQN)-which encodes the Arabidopsis orthologue of cyclophilin 40 (CyP40)-cause the precocious expression of adult vegetative traits, an increase in carpel number, and produce abnormal spacing of flowers in the inflorescence. Here we show that the vegetative phenotype of sqn is attributable to the elevated expression of miR156-regulated members of the SPL fam...

The investigation and treatment of strabismus take up a high proportion 0 ophthalmologist's time. Its treatment is rewarding for the patients are often chi^ in whom the prevention of amblyopia, restoration of binocular vision and imp^ ment in appearance will be of great benefit for the remainder of their lives-j assessment of a diplopic patient is an interesting exercise and may contribute mu a...

Early Operation for Squint.

To the Editorial Committee of the BRITISH JOURNAL OF OPHTHALMOLOGY SIRS,-It is the common experience of those surgeons who operate early on children with constant convergent squint of onset before the age of 2 years that, in those cases which they are able to follow up, if all the manifest obstacles to development of binocular vision are removed, a small proportion will attain full binocularity...

The management of squint

Squint may be the first sign of a serious ocular or systemic disorder, and yet it is also one of the most common ocular conditions of childhood. It follows that while most ocular deviations have no such sinister connotations, an understanding of the range of associations is essential to be prepared for this comparatively infrequent but important possibility. Screening for squint has been covere...
