Gene Symbol
- Os03g0722400 <=> OsDDM1b
Function
- OsDDM1 genes function to silence endogenous loci including those related to retrotransposons in the rice genome, however, their roles on transposition of active.
transposons in the genome remains unknown.
- Hypomethylation induced by the antisense OsDDM1 disturbs normal development.
Expression
- OsDDM1a and OsDDM1b are expressed during development with slight variations among various tissues, suggesting that there might be functional divergence of these two genes (Fig. 1c).
