OXI1 — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BRADI_5G14090V3 (BdOXI1) on chromosome 5 of Brachypodium distachyon encodes a protein with a protein serine/threonine kinase domain and blue light photoreceptor activity, belonging to the AGC-kinase family. The gene is associated with blue light signaling and response, stomatal opening, regulation of auxin polar transport, auxin signaling, protein autophosphorylation and phosphorylation, signal transduction, and development of reproductive structures, shoots, roots, flowers, and plant organs. Its product localizes to the plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus. Related genes in other species link the family to disease resistance, defense responses, and blast fungus (Magnaporthe oryzae) interactions.
