TAIR Curator Summary | Transcriptional activator of the NAC gene family, with CUC1 redundantly required for embryonic apical meristem formation, cotyledon separation and expression of STM. Proper timing of CUC2 expression is required to maintain the phyllotactic pattern initiated in the meristem. CUC2 expression in leaf sinus region is required for serration and the extent of serration is modulated by mir164A mediated repression of CUC2. Together with CUC3-DA1-UBP15 part of a regulatory module which controls the initiation of axillary meristems, thereby determining plant architecture. Regulates the axillary meristem initiation, directly binding to the DA1 promoter. |
