ROUGH SHEATH2: A Myb Protein That Represses knox Homeobox Genes in Maize Lateral Organ Primordia

P., Marja C., Timmermans, Hudson, Andrew, Becraft, Philip W., Nelson, Timothy·1999·Science

Abstract

The regulation of members of the knotted1 -like homeobox ( knox ) gene family is required for the normal initiation and development of lateral organs. The maize rough sheath2 ( rs2 ) gene, which encodes a Myb-domain protein, is expressed in lateral organ primordia and their initials. Mutations in the rs2 gene permit ectopic expression of knox genes in leaf and floral primordia, causing a variety of developmental defects. Ectopic KNOX protein accumulation in rs2 mutants occurs in a subset of the normal rs2 -expressing cells. This variegated accumulation of KNOX proteins in rs2 mutants suggests that rs2 represses knox expression through epigenetic means.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
