Disease relevance of ALC
- CONCLUSIONS: Cell separation in fruit dehiscence requires a specialized cell layer which is nonlignified and capable of autolysis, specified by a myc/bHLH protein encoded by ALC [1].
Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of ALC
- The ALC gene is shown to encode a protein related to the myc/bHLH family of transcription factors and is expressed in the valve margins of the silique, which is the site of cell separation during dehiscence [1].
