SH4 — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA011081 (symbol SH4, also known as OiSH4) on chromosome 3 of Indica rice encodes an uncharacterized protein with DNA binding transcription factor activity. The gene is associated with domestication, shattering, grain, growth, and development phenotypes observed in this species. It is linked to abscission and regulation of DNA-templated transcription as biological processes. Associations include grain shattering, seed shattering, grain color, photosynthetic rate, anthesis time, and grain yield. The gene is also connected to seed, spikelet, cell expansion, young panicles, nucleus, and yield traits. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to hull color, pericarp color, grain length, tiller number, seed size, seed dormancy, plant height, and drought tolerance.
