Type: | Family | Name: | Scarecrow-like protein 18/MONOCULM 1 |
Description: | Scarecrow-like protein 18 (SCL18) from Arabidopsis, also known as protein lateral suppressor (LAS), and its orthologue MONOCULM 1 (MOC1) from rice, are key promoting factors of shoot branching and tillering in higher plants []. SCL18 regulates axillary meristem formation in Arabidopsis []. MOC1 is important in the control of rice tillering []. They belong to the GRAS family of plant specific transcription factors []. | Short Name: | Scarecrow-like_18/MOC1 |
