PAL — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BdPAL (BRADI_5G15830V3) on chromosome 5 of Brachypodium distachyon encodes a phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (EC 4.3.1.24) with additional tyrosine ammonia-lyase activity, a member of the aromatic lyase family. The enzyme is associated with the biosynthesis of cinnamic acid, salicylic acid, lignin, ethylene, and phenylpropanoids, as well as salicylic acid and lignin breakdown. It is linked to drought recovery, guard cell fate commitment, guard mother cell differentiation, negative regulation of cytokinin signalling, and response to low humidity. Associations include photosynthetic rate, IAA content, UV light sensitivity, and traits such as pathogen resistance, salt stress tolerance, freezing tolerance, disease resistance, and anthocyanin and flavonoid biosynthesis. The protein localises to the cytosol, cytoplasm, nucleus, and SCF complex, and is involved in suberin and secondary metabolism pathways.
