genetic studies with Arabidopsis have verified several epigenetic repressors that regulate
flowering time. However, the roles of chromatin remodeling factors in developmental
processes have not been well explored in O ryza sativa (rice). We identified a chromatin
remodeling factor Os VIL 2 (O. sativa VIN 3‐LIKE 2) that promotes flowering. O s VIL 2
contains a plant homeodomain (PHD) finger, which is a conserved motif of histone binding …
