Encodes a homocysteine methyltransferase (HMT). Among the three HMT coding genes in the genome, HMT2 is responsible for a significant proportion of HMT activity in the flower stalks and silique hulls. However, HMT2 does not significantly contribute to the total HMT activity in seeds.
Computational Description
