EHD1 — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA007097 (EHD1) in Indica rice encodes a protein containing dynamin, EH, and EF-hand domains, with GTP-binding, calcium-ion-binding, protein-kinase, and protein-binding activities. It is associated with photoperiod sensitivity and heading date, as well as basic vegetative growth period, anthesis time, and grain weight and yield. The gene is linked to endocytic recycling, endosomal transport, regulation of actin cytoskeleton organization, and protein homooligomerization. It is associated with responses to heat, hyperosmotic salinity, oxidative stress, and abscisic acid signaling, along with manganese sensitivity, osmotic response sensitivity, and disease tolerance. The protein localizes to the endosome membrane, plasmodesma, plasmalemma, cytosol, and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to plant immunity, endocytosis, root growth, and thermo-resilience.
