TOUCH GENES. “The timing of the induction of most TCH genes is between 5 and 30 minutes after the application of stimuli, suggesting a role in the early response to touch stimulation. The cml24 (tch2) mutation affects root morphology on hard agar and is implicated in microtubule structure and starvation-induced autophagy but a functional role for TCH genes in thigmomorphogenesis has yet to be established.”
