Protein
WUSCHEL-related homeobox 3
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Function
Probable transcription factor required to initiate organ founder cells in a lateral domain of shoot meristems. Involved in the lateral sepal axis-dependent development of flowers, probably by regulating the proliferation of L1 cells at the lateral region of flower primordia. Required for the formation of the margin cells of the first and second whorl organs.
Similarity
Belongs to the WUS homeobox family.
