High impact information on RFC3

Map-based cloning of RFC3 gene revealed that it encodes a plastid-localized ribosomal protein S6-like protein and provides a potential link between control of plastid gene expression and LR development [1].
In this study, rfc3 was found to have a sucrose-conditional defect in the patterning of distal elements in the lateral root meristem [1].

Associations of RFC3 with chemical compounds

By utilizing this feature, a sucrose-sensitive process important for lateral root development was localized to the growing portion of rfc3 primary root [1].
