Huang Y.M., 2024, Molecular mechanisms of the rice HAM domain gene OsHIPP16 in ovule development, Bioscience Evidence, 14(5): 218-226 (doi: 10.5376/be.2024.14.0023)

Transcriptomic analyses have identified many differentially expressed genes (DEGs) at different stages of ovule development, suggesting complex regulatory networks are involved. Studies have shown that genes related to cell component biogenesis, membrane-binding organelles, and reproductive regulation are highly expressed during ovule development, and the role of sporophyte tissue in female gametophyte development has been confirmed by gene expression profiles. Relevant studies have also discussed the interaction of OsHIPP16 with other proteins and its potential regulatory functions in ovule development. Providing new insights into its molecular mechanisms, OsHIPP16 plays a crucial role in rice ovule development through complex molecular and cellular events. The interaction of this gene with various regulatory networks and its expression patterns suggest that it contributes significantly to the formation of female gametophytes. These findings enhance researchers' understanding of the genetic and molecular basis of rice ovule development and provide potential applications for improving rice fertility and crop yield. The aim of this study was to elucidate the molecular mechanism of rice HAM domain gene OsHIPP16 in ovule development and to understand its role in female gametophyte formation and function in rice (Oryza sativa).
