TAIR Curator Summary | 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. SCR and SCR-LIKE 23 act redundantly in bundle sheath cell fate specification. The scr mutant has a higher level of hydrogen peroxide in the elongation zone due to reduced expression of peroxidase genes. |
