Popis: SDG711 is a histone H3K27me2/3 transmethylases in rice, homolog ofCLFin Arabidopsis, that plays key roles in regulating of flowering time and panicle development. In this work, we investigated that the role of SDG711 in rice seed development. Overexpression and down-regulation of SDG711lead to the decrease and increase of the expression level of genes related to starch accumulation, resulting in smaller seed or even seed abortion. ChIP assay showed that SDG711-mediated H3K27me3 changed significantly in genes related to endosperm development and SDG711 can directly bind to the gene body region of several starch synthesis genes and amylase genes. In addition, H3K4me3 and H3K9ac modifications also cooperate with H3K27me3 to regulate the development of endosperm. Our results suggested that the crosstalk of SDG711-mediated H3K27me3 with H3K4me3 and H3K9ac are involved in starch accumulation to control normal seed development.
