Annotated Information
Gene Symbol
- Os05g0490700 <=> SDG728
Function
- SDG728-mediated H3K9 methylation may play an important role in retrotransposon repression.
Mutant
- Down-regulation of a rice Su(var)3–9 homolog (SUVH), namely SDG728, decreased H3K9 methylation and altered seed morphology. Overexpression of the gene increased H3K9 methylation.
