ZIM — Brachypodium distachyon
Summary
BdZIM (BRADI_3G03800V3) on Brachypodium distachyon chromosome 3 encodes a TIFY-like protein with GATA-type zinc finger and CCT domains, annotated as a DNA-binding transcription factor with telomeric repeat binding activity. The gene is associated with jasmonic acid signaling, circadian rhythm, and meristem maintenance, and its product localizes to the nucleus. Traits linked to BdZIM include seed viability, flowering time, telomere length maintenance, genome stability, and defense response. Phenotype associations encompass photoprotection, photosystem II quantum efficiency, telomerase activity, and root meristem growth. Related genes in other species are linked to telomere length regulation, plant viability, and petiole elongation, and to grain weight, drought tolerance, and heat tolerance.
