HD1 — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA028498 (HD1) on Indica rice chromosome 8 encodes a protein with histone deacetylase activity, NAD-independent, and is also annotated for histone demethylase activity, methyltransferase activity, transcription corepressor activity, calcium-dependent protein serine/threonine kinase activity, and as a structural constituent of chromatin. The gene is associated with stress responses including salt, osmotic and drought tolerance, as well as growth, root and lateral root development, seedling establishment, seed maturation, and breeding traits. It is linked to tubulin deacetylation, melatonin and galacturonan metabolism, fruit abscission, floral organ abscission, and regulation of embryonic and multicellular organismal development. The product localises to the HDAC complex, PRC2 complex, condensed chromosome, nucleolus, chloroplast envelope and plastid. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to female gametophyte development, post-germination growth, flowering transition, and systemic acquired resistance.
