Encodes AtPOT1b. Note on nomenclature: different names have been given to Arabidopsis POT-like genes (Kuchar and Fajkus, 2004; Shakirov et al, 2005; Tani and Murata, 2005). According to a unifying nomenclature (Surovtseva et al, 2007), At2g05210 (previously named AtPOT1) is designated AtPOT1a, while At5g06310 (previously named AtPOT2) is designated AtPOT1b.
