Name | sterol methyltransferase 2 | Brief Description | sterol methyltransferase 2 |
TAIR Computational Description | sterol methyltransferase 2;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes a sterol-C24-methyltransferases involved in sterol biosynthesis. Mutants display altered sterol composition, serrated petals and sepals and altered cotyledon vascular patterning as well as ectopic endoreduplication. This suggests that suppression of endoreduplication is important for petal morphogenesis and that normal sterol composition is required for this suppression. |
