CONTINUOUS VASCULAR RING protein (DUF502);(source:Araport11)
TAIR Curator Summary:
Encodes an integral membrane protein of unknown function, highly conserved between plants and bacteria; is likely to be involved in a mechanism that negatively regulates the differentiation of vascular tissue in the stem. Mutants display a dramatic increase in vascular tissue development in the stem in place of the interfascicular region that normally separates the vascular bundles.
