Current understanding of the epigenetic regulator roles in plant growth and development has largely derived from studies in the dicotyledonous model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Rice (Oryza sativa) is one of the most important food crops in the world and has more recently becoming a monocotyledonous model plant in functional genomics research. During the past few years, an increasing number of studies have reported the impact of DNA methylation, non-coding RNAs and histone modifications on transcription regulation, flowering time control, and reproduction in rice. Here, we review these studies to provide an updated complete view about chromatin modifiers characterized in rice and in particular on their roles in epigenetic regulation of flowering time, reproduction, and seed development.
目前对表观遗传调控因子在植物生长发育中作用的理解，很大程度上源于对双子叶模式植物拟南芥的研究。水稻（Oryza sativa）是世界上最重要的粮食作物之一，最近已成为功能基因组学研究中的单子叶模式植物。在过去几年中，越来越多的研究报道了DNA甲基化、非编码RNA和组蛋白修饰对水稻转录调控、开花时间控制和繁殖的影响。在此，我们综述这些研究，以提供关于水稻中已鉴定的染色质修饰因子的最新全面观点，特别是它们在开花时间、繁殖和种子发育的表观遗传调控中的作用。
