What's a GeneRIF?

The rapid growth of roots in the light requires a functional ARP2/3-SCAR complex. Light is essential for stabilizing the SCAR complex in the plasma membrane, which is necessary for maintaining longitudinally organized F-actin to sustain rapid root growth.
Title: SCAR mediates light-induced root elongation in Arabidopsis through photoreceptors and proteasomes.
