TPP — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BdTPP (BRADI_1G07570V3) on Brachypodium distachyon chromosome 1 encodes a serine-type endopeptidase with signal peptidase activity (EC 3.4.21.89), belonging to the peptidase S26 family. The gene is associated with thylakoid membrane organization and localization to the chloroplast thylakoid membrane, as well as leaf senescence. It is linked to mycose (trehalose) metabolism and biosynthesis, and to sucrose homeostasis and flowering date. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to trehalose biosynthesis, cold tolerance, pathogen resistance, and nitrate response, as well as to agronomic traits including grain number, grain weight, harvest index, plant height, heat tolerance, drought tolerance, and wheat stripe rust disease response.
