    What's a GeneRIF?
    1. Congruence between SHR and ATHB8 expression domains persists under conditions of manipulated vein patterning, suggesting that inception of expression of SHR and ATHB8 identifies transition to a preprocambial cell state that presages vein formation.

    2. Data show that the expression of 3 DOF genes DOF2.1 (At2g28510), DOF4.6 (At4g24060) and DOF5.3 (At5g60200) is activated at early vascular development stages overlapping onset of ATHB8 expression.
