Function
Transcription regulator required for seed dispersal. Involved in the differentiation of all three cell types required for fruit dehiscence. Acts as the key regulator in a network including SHP and ALC that controls specification of the valve margin. Works with ALC, SHP, and FUL to allow differentiation of the lignified valve layer, the spring-loaded mechanism of fruit that promotes opening. Regulates the expression of the YJ80 marker.
