Encodes a plant transcriptional activator that contains two separate, but similar, trihelix DNA-binding domains, similar to GT-2. Gene is expressed in all aerial parts of the plant, with higher level of expression in siliques. At-GTL2 was thought to be a duplicated copy of this gene but is likely to be a cloning artefact, the result of a chimeric clone. Regulates ploidy-dependent cell growth in trichome.
