Protein
WUSCHEL-related homeobox 8
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Function
Probable transcription factor, which may be involved in embryonic patterning (PubMed:14711878). May be required for basal embryo development after fertilization (PubMed:14711878). Acts partially redundantly with STIP in promoting embryonic cell division and proliferation (PubMed:17706632). Promotes cotyledon boundary formation by maintaining the symmetry in CUC genes expression domains (PubMed:22827849).
Similarity
Belongs to the WUS homeobox family.
