Abstract:
An isolated nucleic acid molecule which hybridizes over its full length to the complement of the nucleic acid molecule of SEQ ID NO:1 under highly stringent conditions, wherein said highly stringent conditions consist of hybridization to filter-bound DNA in 0.5 M NaHPO4, 7% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), 1 mM EDTA at 65Â° C., and washing in 0.1Ã—SSC/0.1% SDS at 68Â° C., wherein said isolated nucleic acid molecule encodes a SCARECROW protein that has the property of SEQ ID NO:2 of directing the asymmetric division of the cortex/endodermal initial of a plant.
