GF14F — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BRADI_1G11290V3 (GF14F, also known as GF14a) on chromosome 1 of Brachypodium distachyon encodes a 14-3-3 domain-containing protein. The gene is associated with protein localisation, signal transduction, response to hormone, detoxification, and protein metabolism, and its product localises to both the cytoplasm and nucleus. GF14F is associated with brassinosteroid signaling, seed development, regulation of seed size, and reproductive structure development. It has been associated with grain yield, grain length, starch content, sucrose levels, endosperm development, and salt response. Related genes in other species link the family to grain quality, yield, grain filling, chalkiness, and defense responses against bacterial blight and blast.
