ZIM — Brachypodium distachyon
Summary
BdZIM (BRADI_3G03810V3) on Brachypodium distachyon chromosome 3 encodes a nuclear protein with TIFY, GATA-type zinc finger, and CCT domains, and is annotated as a DNA-binding transcription factor with sequence-specific DNA, RNA, and telomeric repeat binding activities. The gene is associated with jasmonic acid signaling, circadian rhythm, meristem maintenance, root meristem growth, stem cell population maintenance, anther dehiscence, and telomere maintenance via telomerase. It has been linked to seed viability, flowering time, photoprotection, photosystem II quantum efficiency, telomere length, genome stability, and defense response. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to petiole and hypocotyl elongation, flower and inflorescence development, telomere length regulation, and plant viability. Sequence similarity links the family to grain weight, plant height, drought tolerance, heat tolerance, seed dormancy, and anthesis time.
