    Summary
    Encodes a member of the Alfin1-like family of nuclear-localized PHD (plant homeodomain) domain containing proteins that acts as a novel upstream regulator of root hair formation during Pi starvation. All AL proteins except AL3 bind to di- or trimethylated histone H3 (H3K4me3/2). Members of this family include: AT5G05610 (AL1), AT3G11200 (AL2), AT3G42790 (AL3), AT5G26210 (AL4), AT5G20510 (AL5), AT2G02470 (AL6), AT1G14510 (AL7).
