PNH — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA010045 (PNH, also known as OiPNH) encodes a protein argonaute 5 containing Piwi, PAZ and RNaseH-like domains, and is annotated with siRNA and miRNA binding, DNA-binding transcription activator activity, and multiple ubiquitin-related activities. In Indica rice, this gene is associated with sheath development, reproductive growth, meiosis, cell division, antiviral immunity, and traits including grain, yield, height, tiller, seed, and erect growth. It is linked to leaf polarity, leaf morphology, shoot apical meristem initiation, auxin signalling, TAS3 tasiRNA biogenesis, juvenile-to-adult transition, female sterility, virus resistance, megagametogenesis, and cadmium uptake. The gene is also associated with processes such as miRNA metabolic process, gene silencing by miRNA, female meiotic nuclear division, and acropetal auxin transport. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to developmental timing, floral organ development, and shoot meristem organization.
