Source Description
TAIREncodes a homeodomain-leucine zipper protein that is rapidly and strongly induced by changes in the ratio of red to far-red light. It is also involved in cell expansion and cell proliferation and in the response to auxin.
UniProtProbable transcription factor involved in the negative regulation of cell elongation and specific cell proliferation processes such as lateral root formation and secondary growth of the vascular system. Acts as mediator of the red/far-red light effects on leaf cell expansion in the shading response. Binds to the DNA sequence 5'-CAAT[GC]ATTG-3'. Negatively regulates its own expression. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10477292, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11260495, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8449400}.
