G2 — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BdG2 (BRADI_1G30740V3) on chromosome 1 of Brachypodium distachyon encodes a protein with domains including ACP_syn_III_C, 3-ktacl-CoA_syn, FAE1_typ3_polyketide_synth, and Thiolase-like, and is annotated with acetoacetyl-CoA reductase, trans-2-enoyl-CoA reductase, and 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase activities. The gene is associated with very-long-chain fatty acid anabolism and metabolism, wax and suberin biosynthesis, cuticle development, and fatty acid elongation. It is linked to traits including drought and salt tolerance, flowering time, seed coat color, plant male sterility, leaf vein morphology, root thickness and mass density, osmotic and oxidative stress responses, abscisic acid sensitivity, high temperature stress response, and disease tolerance. Localization evidence connects the product to the fatty acid elongase complex, endoplasmic reticulum membrane, cell wall, and chloroplast membranes. Related genes in other species are linked to grain weight, plant height, tiller number, and cold tolerance.
