JAZ — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BdJAZ (BRADI_3G23180V3) encodes a TIFY/JAZ family protein containing a TIFY domain and a CCT_CS domain, and is localized to the nucleus. In Brachypodium distachyon, this gene is associated with regulation of jasmonic acid-mediated signaling, defense response, wound response, DNA-dependent transcription, anther dehiscence, and dehiscence. It is linked to phenotypes including ethylene response, cell death, vegetative growth, and jasmonate-related responses. Related genes in other species connect the family to agronomically important traits such as grain size, grain weight, grain yield, floret number, spikelet fertility, culm length, leaf angle, chlorophyll content, seed germination, drought tolerance, and nitrate uptake, though these associations are not yet established in Brachypodium.
