SH4 — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA014125, symbol SH4, encodes a Myb/SANT domain-containing transcription factor on chromosome 4 of Indica rice. The gene is associated with domestication, shattering, grain, growth, and development phenotypes. It has been connected to abscission and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Associations include grain shattering, seed shattering, grain color, photosynthetic rate, anthesis time, and grain yield. The gene is also linked to seed, spikelet, cell expansion, young panicles, nucleus, and yield phenotypes. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to hull color, pericarp color, yield traits, grain length, tiller number, seed size, seed dormancy, grain size, plant height, and drought tolerance.
