Gene Details:
- Gene ID: HORVU.MOREX.r2.3HG0218740
- Gene Symbol: HvMORC6a
- Gene Name: MICRORCHIDIA 6
- Genome: MorexV3_pseudomolecules_assembly
- Species: Hordeum vulgare
Functional Descriptions:
- We demonstrate that HvMORC1 and HvMORC6a form distinct nucleocytoplasmic homo-/heteromers with other HvMORCs and interact with components of the RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) pathway, further substantiating that MORC proteins are involved in the regulation of TEs in barley.
- HvMORC1 and HvMORC6a form nucleocytoplasmic homo-/heteromers, interact with components of the epigenetic gene silencing machinery, and function as repressors of transposable elements (TE).
- The dKO mutant hvmorc1/6a displays the strongest effect on pathogen defence.
