NCBI Protein Information
leucine-rich repeat/extensin 1
NCBI Summary
encodes a a chimeric leucine-rich repeat/extensin protein that regulates root hair morphogenesis and elongation. Null mutants develop root hairs that frequently abort, swell, or branch. Gene is expressed in root hair cells and protein is specifically localized in the wall of the hair proper.
