ELG — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BdELG (BRADI_5G12227V3) on Brachypodium distachyon chromosome 5 encodes a protein with leucine-rich repeat and serine/threonine kinase domains, annotated with transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase binding, guanylyl cyclase activity, and multiple signaling-related molecular functions. The gene is associated with immune response-regulating signaling pathways, upregulation of cellular defense response, response to humidity, anti-apoptosis, and reactive oxygen species-mediated programmed cell death. It has been linked to traits including grain yield, bacterial blight disease resistance, brassinosteroid content, leaf rolling, floral organ length, and shoot growth angle. Localization associations include the heterotrimeric G-protein complex, nuclear envelope, and endosome. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to brassinosteroid signaling, cell death control, disease resistance, and grain weight.
