| Function | Regulatory subunit of acetohydroxy-acid synthase. Involved in the feed-back inhibition by branched-chain amino acids but not in herbicide tolerance. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20497381}. |
| Subcellular Location | Plastid, chloroplast {ECO:0000305}. |
| Tissue Specificity | Expressed in roots in the vascular tissuem in cells around the quiescent center, in floral organs at the tips of young siliques and in the joint region between the silique and the pedicel. Barely detectable in mature leaves or siliques. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20497381}. |
