| NCBI Gene Info:Encodes a member of a novel family having similarity to DNA binding proteins containing basic-leucine zipper regions; scr is expressed in cortex/endodermal initial cells and in the endodermal cell lineage. Regulates the radial organization of the root. Is required cell-autonomously for distal specification of the quiescent center, which in turn regulates stem cell fate of immediately surrounding cells. SCR appears to be a direct target of SHR. |
