High impact information on AN

 

Biological context of AN

  • The as1 mutation affected leaf morphology independently of mutations in other genes known to affect leaf morphogenesis, such as the acaulis1 mutation and the angustifolia mutation [6].
 

Anatomical context of AN

  • De Lanerolle and Cole discuss new insights from plants that show that a plant member of the COOH-terminal binding protein (CtBP) and the brefeldin A adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribosylated subtrates (BARS) proteins, ANGUSTIFOLIA, may be a regulator of both the microtubule-based cytoskeleton and a transcriptional regulator [7].
 

Other interactions of AN

  • We propose that leaf expansion in Arabidopsis involves at least two independent developmental processes: width development and length development, with the ANGUSTIFOLIA and ROTUNDIFOLIA3 genes playing different polarity-specific roles in cell elongation [3].
