HD1 — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA038718 (HD1) in Indica rice encodes a protein with histone deacetylase activity, NAD-independent, and is also annotated for histone demethylase activity, methyltransferase activity, calcium-dependent protein serine/threonine kinase activity, transcription corepressor activity, and chromatin binding. It is associated with stress responses including salt, osmotic, and drought tolerance, as well as growth, root development, and seed maturation. The gene is linked to melatonin metabolism, tubulin deacetylation, fruit abscission, and regulation of embryonic and multicellular organismal development. It localizes to the HDAC complex, PRC2 complex, condensed chromosome, chloroplast envelope, and nucleolus. Traits connected to HD1 include rice thrips damage response, floral organ length, panicle number, spikelet fertility, branch angle, leaf elongation rate, and total soluble sugar content. Related genes in other species link the family to female gametophyte development, flowering transition, and systemic acquired resistance.
