BRD1 — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA029318 (symbol BRD1, also known as OiBRD1 or BRD2) on chromosome 9 of Indica rice encodes a bromodomain-containing protein that localises to the nucleus, plasmodesmata and the SWI-SNF complex, and is associated with mRNA and protein binding. This gene is associated with the regulation of vegetative growth and photoperiodic flowering, chlorophyll anabolism, and chromatin structure regulation. It has been linked to grain shape, grain size, grain yield, plant height, chlorophyll content, and flowering time. Related genes in other species connect the family to leaf thickness, leaf angle, brassinosteroid content, grain number, root length, drought tolerance, and additional morphological and flowering-time traits.
