Abstract excerpt
KNOX homeodomain (HD) proteins encoded by KNOTTED1-like homeobox genes (KNOX genes) are thought to work as switches for cells to change from an indeterminate to a determinate state, although their direct functions are not clear. In the process of isolating KNOX genes from rice, we found that one gene, named OSH3, has two amino acid substitutions in three of the invariant amino acid residues in the HD of KNOX...
