CAM — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BRADI_3G46060V3 (BdCAM) encodes a calmodulin-binding protein belonging to the CBP60 family, with DNA-binding transcription factor activity, transcription coactivator activity, and calmodulin binding. In Brachypodium distachyon, this gene is associated with regulation of salicylic acid biosynthesis, calcium signaling, stomatal closure, defense responses to fungi and other organisms, photomorphogenesis, root meristem growth, and adaxial/abaxial pattern specification. It localizes to the nucleus, cytosol, cytoplasm, plasma membrane, and plant-type vacuole. Associations with agronomically relevant traits include seed weight, tiller number, plant height, photosynthetic rate, water use efficiency, flowering time, root length and thickness, leaf morphology, anthocyanin content, and responses to abscisic acid and oxidative stress. Related genes in other species are linked to plant immunity, disease resistance, organ size, and seed development.
