The presence of a protease in a particular organism is indicated by +, its absence by -. If more than one isoform is present, the names are given. Proteases of the “core set” are depicted in bold. At, Arabidopsis thaliana; Cr, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii; Os, Oryza sativa; Pp, Physcomitrella patens; Pt, Populus trichocarpa.
