YUC — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BdYUC (BRADI_1G49935V3) encodes an indole-3-pyruvate monooxygenase, a flavin-containing monooxygenase with NADP and FAD binding activity (EC 1.14.13.168). In Brachypodium distachyon, the gene is associated with the regulation of leaf and root development, lateral root formation, anther dehiscence, somatic embryogenesis, regeneration, and the response to auxin. It is also linked to auxin anabolism and embryogenesis. The encoded protein localises to the endoplasmic reticulum. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to auxin-dependent developmental processes.
