CDPK — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BdCDPK (BRADI_4G26354V3) on chromosome 4 of Brachypodium distachyon encodes a protein with transmembrane transporter activity and belongs to the major facilitator superfamily (MFS). The gene is associated with signal transduction and the MAPK cascade, and its product localises to the membrane. It has been linked to growth stage, drought, salt, leaf and sheath traits, starch biosynthesis, grain size, and responses to abscisic acid, jasmonic acid, and salicylic acid. Related genes in other species are associated with seed development, root and seedling phenotypes, plant height, grain yield, cold tolerance, disease resistance, and stomatal resistance.
