YS1 — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BRADI_5G17210V3 (YS1, also known as YSL9) encodes a member of the YSL-like oligopeptide transporter (OPT) family with Fe-NA chelate transporter activity. In Brachypodium distachyon, this gene is associated with iron and zinc responses, seed and flower development, and nematode response. It has been linked to grain filling, seed and grain size, photosynthetic rate, and grain yield. The encoded protein localizes to multiple membranes including the tonoplast, plastid envelope, plasmalemma, and Golgi. Studies of related YSL genes in other species connect the family to iron homeostasis and transport, seed metal loading, copper and zinc remobilization, heavy metal stress tolerance, and mineral transport. The family has also been linked to traits such as seed iron content, grain weight, chlorophyll content, root length, and disease tolerance.
