YUC — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BdYUC (BRADI_1G74279V3) encodes a flavin monooxygenase with indole-3-pyruvate monooxygenase activity (EC 1.14.13.168). The protein contains FAD/NAD-binding and flavin monooxygenase-like domains and is localized to the endoplasmic reticulum. In Brachypodium distachyon, this gene is associated with auxin anabolism and response, as well as regulation of leaf and root development, lateral root formation, anther dehiscence, somatic embryogenesis, regeneration, and embryogenesis. Related genes in other species are linked to auxin-dependent developmental processes, though these associations are not directly established in Brachypodium.
