Type: | Family | Name: | Small auxin-up RNA |
Description: | This entry represents a group of plant auxin-responsive proteins, known as small auxin-up RNA (SAUR) []. The first SAUR gene was originally identified in soybean hypocotyls []. SAUR genes are mainly expressed in growing hypocotyls or other elongating tissues, implying that they play a role in the regulation of cell elongation []. SAUR proteins may provide a mechanistic link between auxin and plasma membrane H+-ATPases (PM H+-ATPases) in Arabidopsis thaliana []. | Short Name: | SAUR_fam |
