MUTE — Brachypodium distachyon
Summary
BRADI_1G18400V3, designated BdMUTE, encodes a FAMA/SPEECHLESS/MUTE-like basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor that localises to the nucleus and binds DNA and cis-regulatory regions. In Brachypodium distachyon, BdMUTE is associated with stomatal lineage progression, guard mother cell and guard cell differentiation, stomatal complex development, and epidermal cell differentiation. It is also linked to seed morphogenesis, seed dormancy, endosperm development, nuclear movement, cell division, and the regulation of abscisic acid anabolism and signalling. Trait associations include stomatal process-related traits, photosynthetic rate, seed longevity and dormancy, seedling growth, flowering time, temperature stress responses, leaf senescence, stamen morphology, pollen fertility, and disease tolerance. Related genes in other species are linked to cold acclimation, freezing tolerance, pathogen resistance, and male fertility.
