BOP1 — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BdBOP1 (BRADI_2G60710V3) encodes a protein with hydrolase activity, DNA-binding transcription factor activity, and protein homodimerization activity, belonging to the NPR5/6 family with BTB/POZ, ankyrin repeat, and zinc-finger domains. It is associated with regulation of salicylic acid- and jasmonic acid-mediated signaling pathways, systemic acquired resistance, meristem determinacy, floral organ development, leaf development, abscission, and response to xenobiotic stimuli. The gene has been linked to traits including seed shattering, inflorescence morphology, flowering time, disease tolerance, lignin biosynthesis, leaf senescence, and root morphology. It localizes to the nucleus, cytoplasm, and plasma membrane. Related genes in other species have been linked to shoot apical meristem maintenance, UV-B stress tolerance, and auxin and salicylic acid responses.
