ELG — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BdELG (BRADI_3G46747V3) on Brachypodium distachyon chromosome 3 encodes a protein with leucine-rich repeat and serine/threonine kinase domains, and is associated with transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase binding, guanylyl cyclase activity, NAD(P)H oxidase H2O2-forming activity, and transcription regulator activity. The gene is linked to immune response-regulating signaling pathway, upregulation of cellular defense response, reactive oxygen species-mediated programmed cell death, and negative regulation of seed maturation. Associations include traits such as grain yield, bacterial blight disease resistance, brassinosteroid content, leaf rolling response, floral organ length, and response to humidity, temperature stress, and aphid response trait. The protein localizes to the heterotrimeric G-protein complex, endosome, and nuclear envelope. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to brassinosteroid signaling, cell death control, grain weight, plant height, and nonhost resistance to Pyricularia oryzae.
