Comments
Comment typeDescription
Developmental StageExpressed in the procambial cells and the developing vascular system of embryos, roots and shoots. Expressed during the early stages of revascularization after cutting experiment. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12447534, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8575317}.
FunctionProbable transcription factor involved in the regulation of vascular development. May promote differentiation of precambial and cambial cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11402194, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15598805}.
