GT61 — Brachypodium distachyon
Summary
BdGT61 (BRADI_1G19160V3) on chromosome 1 of Brachypodium distachyon encodes a glycosyltransferase 61 family protein with 1,4-beta-D-xylan synthase, pentosyltransferase, arabinosyltransferase, UDP-xylosyltransferase and transglycosidase activities. It is localised to the Golgi membrane and extracellular region. The gene is associated with mucilage anabolism during seed coat development, plant-type cell wall organisation, and response to virus. It is linked to stem and culm strength, as well as seed mucilage adhesion, adherence, architecture, cellulose distribution, and seed coat mucilage composition. Related genes in other species connect the GT61 family to seed germination, salt tolerance, and defective seed coat mucilage with altered composition.
