TL;DR: The high-quality genome sequence will help Brachypodium reach its potential as an important model system for developing new energy and food crops and establishes a template for analysis of the large genomes of economically important pooid grasses such as wheat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proteomic Analysis of Schistosoma mansoni Egg Secretions
Cynthia L. Cass,Jeffrey R. Johnson,Lindsay L. Califf,Tao Xu,Hector J. Hernandez,Miguel J. Stadecker,John R. Yates,David L. Williams +7 more
TL;DR: The identification of proteins actively secreted by live schistosome eggs provides important new information for understanding immune modulation and the pathology ofschistosomiasis.
Journal ArticleDOI
p‐Coumaroyl‐CoA:monolignol transferase (PMT) acts specifically in the lignin biosynthetic pathway in Brachypodium distachyon

Wilkerson,Richard Sibout,Richard Sibout,Catherine Lapierre,Catherine Lapierre,John Ralph,John C. Sedbrook,John C. Sedbrook +20 more
TL;DR: Data are consistent with a defined role for grass PMT genes in encoding BAHD acyltransferases that specifically acylate monolignols with pCA and producemonolignol p-coumarate conjugates that are used for lignification in planta.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of PHENYLALANINE AMMONIA LYASE (PAL) knockdown on cell wall composition, biomass digestibility, and biotic and abiotic stress responses in Brachypodium
Cynthia L. Cass,Antoine Peraldi,Patrick F. Dowd,Yaseen Mottiar,Nicholas Santoro,Steven D. Karlen,Yury V. Bukhman,Cliff E. Foster,Nicholas Thrower,Laura C. Bruno,Oleg V. Moskvin,Eric T. Johnson,Megan E. Willhoit,Megha Phutane,John Ralph,Shawn D. Mansfield,Paul Nicholson,John C. Sedbrook +17 more
TL;DR: Reducing the function of PAL, the first enzyme in the phenylpropanoid pathway, in Brachypodium distachyon alters cell wall composition, increases fungal susceptibility, but minimally affects caterpillar herbivory and abiotic stress tolerance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ectopic Expression of WRINKLED1 Affects Fatty Acid Homeostasis in Brachypodium distachyon Vegetative Tissues.

TL;DR: The ectopic expression of WRI1 in the grass Brachypodium distachyon induced the transcription of predicted genes involved in glycolysis and FA biosynthesis, and TAG content was increased up to 32.5-fold in 8-week-old leaf blades as mentioned in this paper.
