BPH29 — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA022089, also known as BPH29 or OiBPH29, encodes a B3 DNA-binding domain-containing transcription factor on chromosome 6 of Indica rice. The protein localises to the nucleus and is annotated with DNA binding transcription factor activity and DNA binding, consistent with its role in DNA-dependent transcription. BPH29 is associated with breeding. Studies of related B3 domain-containing proteins in other species link the gene family to transcriptional regulation, though this specific function in rice is inferred from sequence similarity rather than direct experimental evidence.
