MAP — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BdMAP (BRADI_1G31650V3) on chromosome 1 of Brachypodium distachyon encodes a protein with a Rab-GAP TBC domain and GTPase-activating protein (GAP) activity. The gene is associated with retrograde transport from endosome to Golgi, stomatal closure, ribosome biogenesis, and signal transduction. Its product localises to the retromer complex, endosome membrane, Golgi complex, cytosol, cytoplasm, and nucleus. BdMAP is linked to water use efficiency and oxidative stress response. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to grain length, grain size, grain yield, plant height, root dry weight, root number, seed dormancy, germination rate, salinity tolerance, stripe rust, leaf temperature, lignin content, proline content, photochemical quenching, and stomatal opening.
