Mutated genes
Locus name	AT5G62000
Alias	ARF2/HSS/ORE14
Organism	Arabidopsis thaliana
Description	Encodes an auxin response factor. Mutants have many defects including enlarged rosette leaves, reduced fertility, later senescence, hypocotyl elongation defects, enlarged seeds and enlarged cotyledons. May not mediate auxin effects. Increase in seed size due to increased cell proliferation.
