MKK3 — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BRADI_1G41860V3 (MKK3-2, also known as BdMKK3) on chromosome 1 of Brachypodium distachyon encodes a protein with MAPKK activity (EC 2.7.12.2), containing a protein kinase domain and an NTF2-like domain. This gene is associated with the MAPK cascade, regulation of cell division, stomatal complex development, and secondary cell wall biogenesis. It has been linked to responses to desiccation, herbivory, and oxidative stress, as well as positive regulation of leaf senescence and downregulation of stomatal opening. Associations include traits such as drought tolerance, seed protein content, flowering time, root morphology, and disease tolerance. Related genes in other species are linked to drought stress resistance, insect herbivory resistance, and phosphate deficiency response.
