The splicing genes SmEa and SmEb regulate plant development during vegetative growth in poplar [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Spliceosomes are large evolutionary conserved ribonucleoprotein complexes containing at their core heptameric rings of Sm (or LSm) proteins and U-rich snRNAs. The role of Sm proteins in animal development is well established, and recent research has begun to link mutations in these genes to growth defects in plants. One of the most studied Sm genes is SmE1/PCP, mutants of which display a temperature-dependent phenotype in Arabidopsis thaliana.
