GT1 — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BdGT1 (BRADI_2G09620V3) on chromosome 2 of Brachypodium distachyon encodes a transglycosidase with Glyco_trans_4_5 and Glyco_trans_1 domains. The gene is associated with the trans-Golgi network, endosome, and Golgi complex, and has been linked to decreased sensitivity to cold and oxidative stress, as well as grain and mitosis phenotypes. Related genes in other species connect the family to growth, stress, pollen, and reproductive development, and to inflorescence branching, flavonoid content, spikelet number, ear number, tiller number, and grain number.
