TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes a methyl IAA esterase. Methyl IAA is believed to be an inactive form of auxin that needs to be demethylated to exert a biological effect. MES17 does not act on methyl JA, MeSA, MeGA4, or MEGA9 in vitro. This gene is expressed in several tissues of seedlings and adult plants, with a higher relative level of expression in the seedling shoot apex and the adult stem. |
