  2. Data show that the expression of 3 DOF genes DOF2.1 (At2g28510), DOF4.6 (At4g24060) and DOF5.3 (At5g60200) is activated at early vascular development stages overlapping onset of ATHB8 expression.

  3. Here we discuss putative mechanisms by which wide domains of MP expression could activate ATHB8 transcription in single cell files.
    [PMID: 20592815]
  4. Congruence between SHR and ATHB8 expression domains persists under conditions of manipulated vein patterning, suggesting that inception of expression of SHR and ATHB8 identifies transition to a preprocambial cell state that presages vein formation.
