BGIOSGA034344 — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA034344 (HD1) on chromosome 11 of Indica rice encodes a histone deacetylase with NAD-independent histone deacetylase activity, histone deacetylase binding, histone demethylase activity, and transcription corepressor activity. The gene is associated with stress responses, including salt and osmotic stress resistance, as well as growth, root and lateral root development, and seedling and seed traits. It has been linked to rice thrips damage response, floral organ length, flower abscission, plant female sterility, fruit quality and ripening, panicle number, spikelet fertility, and shoot growth angle. The encoded protein localizes to the HDAC complex, PRC2 complex, condensed chromosome, nucleolus, and chloroplast envelope. Related genes in other species link the family to female gametophyte development, post-germination growth, abiotic stress tolerance, and flowering transition.
