YUC — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BdYUC (BRADI_2G07407V3) encodes a protein with flavin monooxygenase, indole-3-pyruvate monooxygenase, indolepyruvate decarboxylase, and protein-disulfide reductase (NAD(P)) activities. In Brachypodium distachyon, it is associated with IAA biosynthetic and regulatory processes, morphogenesis, leaf and root development, floral meristem determinacy, inflorescence development, embryogenesis, regeneration, drought recovery, and responses to cytokinin, oxidative stress, metals, and herbicides. The gene product localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi membrane, cytosol, mitochondria, and extracellular space. Associations with IAA content, seed size, shoot branching, lateral root formation, anther dehiscence, senescence, and heavy metal stress tolerance have been reported. Related genes in other species are linked to drought tolerance, oxidative stress tolerance, leaf morphology, grain traits, plant height, and reproductive development.
