    Lineage
    Eukaryota; Viridiplantae; Streptophyta; Embryophyta; Tracheophyta; Spermatophyta; Magnoliopsida; eudicotyledons; Gunneridae; Pentapetalae; rosids; malvids; Brassicales; Brassicaceae; Camelineae; Arabidopsis
    Also known as
    AP22.90; AP22_90; BEL1-like homeodomain 2; SAW1; SAWTOOTH 1
    Summary
    Encodes a member of the BEL family of homeodomain proteins. Plants doubly mutant for saw1/saw2 (blh2/blh4) have serrated leaves. BP is expressed in the serrated leaves, therefore saw1/saw2 may act redundantly to repress BP in leaves.
