A SCYL2 gene from Oryza sativa is involved in phytosterol accumulation and regulates plant growth and salt stress.

SCYL2 protein kinase plays a key role in phytosterol accumulation in rice, affecting plant growth and development. Mutations in the gene lead to stunted growth, while overexpression results in improved stress resistance and growth. Understanding SCYL2 may help in developing more functional rice varieties.
