PAL — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BRADI_3G49270V3 (BdPAL) encodes a phenylalanine ammonia-lyase with tyrosine ammonia-lyase activity, classified under EC 4.3.1.24. In Brachypodium distachyon, BdPAL is associated with lignin anabolism and breakdown, salicylic acid and ethylene anabolism, drought recovery, guard cell fate commitment, and response to low humidity. It has been linked to IAA content, UV light sensitivity, photosynthetic rate, and pathogen resistance, as well as salt stress tolerance and freezing tolerance. The gene product localizes to the cytosol, nucleus, and SCF complex, and is involved in suberin biosynthesis and secondary metabolism. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to traits including stem strength, forage yield, and resistance to bacterial blight and root-knot nematode.
