Arabidopsis	At5g04320	Dispensable for both meiotic and mitotic cell cycle progression.	SGO1 but not SGO2 is required for maintenance of centromere cohesion in Arabidopsis thaliana meiosis.; 2013; DOI: 10.1007/s00497-013-0231-x; PMID: 23884434; https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23884434/ | Centromeric cohesion is protected twice at meiosis, by SHUGOSHINs at anaphase I and by PATRONUS at interkinesis.; 2013; DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2013.08.036; PMID: 24206843; https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24206843/ | SHUGOSHINs and PATRONUS protect meiotic centromere cohesion in Arabidopsis thaliana.; 2014; DOI: 10.1111/tpj.12432; PMID: 24506176; https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24506176/
Arabidopsis	At3g10440	Protects sister chromatid centromere cohesion in meiosis I but not through the protection of the cohesin SYN1.	SGO1 but not SGO2 is required for maintenance of centromere cohesion in Arabidopsis thaliana meiosis.; 2013; DOI: 10.1007/s00497-013-0231-x; PMID: 23884434; https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23884434/ | Centromeric cohesion is protected twice at meiosis, by SHUGOSHINs at anaphase I and by PATRONUS at interkinesis.; 2013; DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2013.08.036; PMID: 24206843; https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24206843/ | SHUGOSHINs and PATRONUS protect meiotic centromere cohesion in Arabidopsis thaliana.; 2014; DOI: 10.1111/tpj.12432; PMID: 24506176; https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24506176/
Rice	Os02g0799100	Plays a central role in chromosome cohesion during meiosis I by preventing premature dissociation of cohesin complex from centromeres after prophase, when most of cohesin complex dissociates from chromosomes arms.	OsSGO1 maintains synaptonemal complex stabilization in addition to protecting centromeric cohesion during rice meiosis.; 2011; DOI: 10.1111/j.1365-313x.2011.04615.x; PMID: 21615569; https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21615569/
