PIP1 — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BRADI_3G51387V3 (BdPIP1) on chromosome 3 encodes a protein with MIP and aquaporin-like domains, annotated with channel activity, phospholipase D activity, peptide receptor activity, and multiple kinase and binding functions. It is associated with carbon dioxide transport, hydrogen peroxide membrane transport, phosphatidic acid metabolism, circadian regulation of gene expression, and responses to aluminum, low humidity, and bacteria. Localization evidence links it to the plasma membrane region, plant-type cell wall, vacuole, chloroplast envelope, and filiform apparatus. The gene is associated with traits including photosynthetic rate, stomatal opening and resistance, root hair length, lateral root length, germination rate, flowering time, vegetative growth time, and responses to drought, cold, cadmium, phosphorus, and powdery mildew. Related genes in other species are associated with water transport, drought stress tolerance, stomatal closure, and grain moisture content.
