OsMADS29 (M29) is a crucial regulator of seed development in rice. The expression of M29 is strictly regulated at transcriptional as well as post-transcriptional levels. The MADS-box proteins are known to bind to DNA as dimers.

It affects embryo and endosperm development and starch filling during seed development in rice. Its expression seems to be tightly regulated by developmental, spatial, and temporal cues; however, and -regulatory factors that affect its expression are largely unknown.

These interactions are involved in a wide range of phenomena such as signal transduction, pathogen response, cell-cell interactions, metabolic and developmental processes. In the case of transcription factors, these interactions may lead to oligomerization of subunits, sequestering in specific subcellular contexts such as the nucleus, cytoplasm, etc.

- LHP1/TFL2 is a key protein in flowering plants that interacts with polycomb group proteins to control development, and its role has been explored in the early-divergent moss Physcomitrella patens.
- The study identifies a PRC1-like core complex that includes PpLHP1 and RING-finger proteins, suggesting a complex interaction with PRC2, which indicates a more intricate regulatory network in early land plants than previously understood.
- Findings also show that PpLHP1 is involved in RNA metabolism and its distribution in the cell nucleus, and loss of PpLHP1 function results in developmental defects similar to those seen in flowering plants with LHP1/TFL2 mutations.
