UniprotTISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed constitutively in roots, leaves, stems, and flowers. Confined to the valve margins of the silique. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11747817, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12679534}.
Functional Description ? help Back to Top
Source Description
TAIRencodes a myc/bHLH transcription factor-like protein. Gene product is involved in fruit dehiscence. Mutant siliques fail to dehisce.
UniProtRequired for the dehiscence of fruit, especially for the separation of the valve cells from the replum. Promotes the differentiation of a strip of labile nonlignified cells sandwiched between layers of lignified cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11747817}.
