GLABROUS INFLORESCENCE STEMS, C2H2 and C2HC zinc fingers superfamily protein (.1)
TAIR annotation
Putative transcription factor, contains C2H2 domain, regulates aspects of shoot maturation in Arabidopsis thaliana. GIS loss-of-function mutations affect the epidermal differentiation of inflorescence organs, causing a premature decrease in trichome production on successive leaves, stem internodes, and branches. Overexpression has the opposite effect on trichome initiation and causes other heterochronic phenotypes, affecting flowering and juvenileadult leaf transition and inducing the formation of rosette leaves on inflorescence stems.
