Function
Acts as a peptide hormone recognized by receptors (e.g. RGI1 and RGI2) to trigger signaling events including the regulation of RITF1 expression and leading to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in roots to modulate meristem size. Signaling peptide (root growth factor) that maintains the postembryonic root stem cell niche in a PIN2-traffic dependent manner by regulating the expression levels and patterns of the transcription factor PLETHORA (PLT), mainly at the post-transcriptional level.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Secreted
Tissue Specificity: Expressed in root tips, only in the quiescent center and the columella stem cells
