Member of actin subclass composed of ACT12 and ACT4. RNA is expressed at very low levels in vegetative organs, low levels in flowers and very high levels in pollen. Expression of an ACT12/GUS fusion was found in vascular tissues, tapetum, developing and mature pollen, the root cap and in a ring of pericycle tissues during lateral root initiation and early development.
