NamesProtein argonaute MEL1 (Protein MEIOSIS ARRESTED AT LEPTOTENE 1) (OsMEL1)
FunctionEssential for the progression of premeiotic mitosis and meiosis during sporogenesis. Regulates the cell division of premeiotic germ cells, the proper modification of meiotic chromosomes, and the faithful progression of meiosis, probably via small RNA-mediated gene silencing. May be involved in histone H3 'Lys-9' demethylation in the pericentromeric region.
