I’m planning on using maple plywood for a built-in closet and recall seeing a past FHB artticle on connections for sheet goods assembly. Maybe it was break-down sheets. I can’t seem to find it using the FHB search engine…
I’m plaiing on using GRK cabinet screws and biscuits for alignment ; need a source for panel to floor cleats?
I bought the Lee Valley shelf drilling jig with brass plated sleeves and shelf pins.

How about using pocket holes in the panels to screw into the floor?
dave
Cleats applied with or without a dado to the bottom of your panels can be decorative, and be screwed to the floor.
or
Toe-screw the panels to the floor, surround the panel with 1/4 round or cove molding to cover the panel screws.
I would think you could use regular KD fasteners. Something like the Minifix: http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=2334

Look through their fasteners. If you can't find something that will work there, it probably doesn't exist commercially.
