AIN1 — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BRADI_5G19980V3 (BdAIN1) encodes a PLATZ domain-containing protein with zinc-binding and protein-binding molecular functions. In Brachypodium distachyon, this gene is associated with the GABA shunt, TCA cycle, fatty acid anabolism, sodium transport, cold acclimation, and homeostasis. It localizes to both the nucleus and mitochondria. BdAIN1 is associated with ethylene sensitivity, ethylene response, ABA sensitivity, leaf senescence, root elongation, hypocotyl elongation, gravitropic response, and desiccation tolerance (including seed and vegetative desiccation tolerance). Related genes in other species are linked to grain appearance, length, size, and yield, as well as cold and drought tolerance, anthesis time, stomatal traits, quantum yield, and root morphology.
