“…6E). This cluster included AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR3 (ARF3) and ARF19-1, which encode transcription factors involved in auxin signaling (Zouine et al, 2014), and homologs of the Arabidopsis transcription factors PLETHORA, SUPERMAN, and INDEHISCENT, which regulate auxin biosynthesis and activity (Nibau et al, 2011;Kay et al, 2013;Pinon et al, 2013), which is congruent with previous reports of high auxin activity in this tissue (Pattison and Catalá, 2012). This cluster also contained a large number of genes encoding kinases, in particular several members of Leu-rich repeat receptor-like kinase subfamily XI/XII (iTAK database family 1.12.4), such as the Arabidopsis HAESA proteins, which are expressed during abscission zone differentiation (Jinn et al, 2000).…”
