This site contains information on known members of the family of FH2 proteins, or formins, in (mostly angiosperm) plants. Most of the data shown here has been published in a somewhat condensed form in the following paper, which is freely available on-line:
Cvrckova, F., Novotny, M., Pickova, D. and Zarsky, V. (2004). Formin homology 2 domains occur in multiple contexts in angiosperms. BMC Genomics 5, 44.
Thanks to Michael Tognolli from Uniprot, sequences of some of the Arabidopsis formins underwent a recent careful revision. I have added links to the Genes page to the corresponding protein entries.
Of course, I am planning to keep the resource up-to date ... but I cannot promise it will be very regular, as there are lots of more interesting things to do!
There are 21 loci encoding formin-related genes in the first fully sequenced angiosperm genome (A. thaliana).

* Also a good starting point, if you want to get a general idea about the domain structure of plant formins and their relationship to PTEN-like proteins.
