TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes a protein with similarity to carotenoid cleaving deoxygenases, the enzymes that cleave beta-carotene. Involved in the production of a graft transmissable signal to suppress axillary branching. Protein is localized to chloroplast stroma and expressed primarily in root tip. Mutants in the gene exhibit increased shoot branching, and light-dependent defects in hook opening and hypocotyl/root elongation. Only upregulated by auxin in the root and hypocotyl, and this is not required for the inhibition of shoot branching. |
