RER3 may play a significant role in leaf development. It is essential for the division of leaf mesophyll cells during the early stages of leaf organogenesis.
Gene References Into Functions
RER proteins are functionally interconnected with photoperiodic growth, amino acid homeostasis, and reactive oxygen species metabolism during Arabidopsis leaf growth. The RER3 gene is primarily expressed in the bundle sheath cells of expanded leaves. [RER3] PMID: 23596191
