Source Description
TAIREncodes a zinc finger protein containing only a single zinc finger.
UniProtProbable transcription factor required for the initiation of inflorescence trichomes in response to gibberellin and cytokinin. Is not involved in the regulation of trichome branching. Is functionally equivalent to GIS2 (PubMed:17507408). Acts as negative regulator of abscisic acid (ABA) signaling during germination and early seedling development (PubMed:24808098). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17507408, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24808098}.
