GRAS family transcription factor;(source:Araport11)
TAIR Curator Summary:
Involved in radial organization of the root and shoot axial organs. Essential for normal shoot gravitropism. The protein moves in a highly specific manner from the cells of the stele in which it is synthesized outward. Movement requires sequences within the GRAS and VHIID domains. SHORT-ROOT forms a network in combination with JACKDAW, BLUEJAY AND SCARECROW to regulate tissue patterning through asymmetric cell division. The ground tissue lineage remains in shortroot mutant, while it is progressively lost in the triple mutant bluejay jackdaw scarecrow and double mutant jackdaw scarecrow. In addition, ground tissue basal identity remains in shortroot mutant while it is defective in the quadruple mutant bluejay jackdaw magpie nutcracker.
