ELG — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BdELG (BRADI_3G15660V3) on Brachypodium distachyon chromosome 3 encodes a protein with leucine-rich repeat and serine/threonine kinase catalytic domains, and is associated with transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase binding, guanylyl cyclase activity, and signaling receptor binding. The gene is linked to immune response-regulating signaling pathways, upregulation of cellular defense responses, and reactive oxygen species-mediated programmed cell death. It is associated with grain yield, grain size, plant architecture, leaf senescence, anther development, male fertility, brassinosteroid content, bacterial blight disease resistance, salt stress, and temperature stress response. Localization associations include the heterotrimeric G-protein complex and endosome. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to brassinosteroid signaling, disease resistance, cell death control, and yield-related traits.
