PR-1 — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BRADI_3G60230V3, also known as PR-1 or BdPR1#022, encodes a protein belonging to the CAP (cysteine-rich secretory proteins, antigen 5, and pathogenesis-related 1) superfamily, containing a V5 allergen-like domain and a CRISP-related region. In Brachypodium distachyon, this gene is associated with defense responses to other organisms, cell death, and defense response. The protein is localized to the extracellular region and vacuole. Studies of related genes in other species link the PR-1 family to total soluble sugar content, sugar content, and chlorophyll content, though these associations are not yet established in Brachypodium.
