PR5 — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BdPR5 (BRADI_5G27280V3) on chromosome 5 of Brachypodium distachyon encodes a thaumatin-like protein belonging to the osmotin/thaumatin-like superfamily and is annotated with glucan endo-1,3-beta-D-glucosidase activity and IgE binding. The gene is associated with defence response to fungi, killing of cells of other organisms, cell death, defense response, and response to abscisic acid. Its product localises to the apoplast and extracellular space. Related genes in other species link the family to pathogenesis-related functions and glucanase activity.
