Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Brachypodium distachyon (Brachypodium) is a model system for studying cereal, bioenergy, forage and turf grasses. The genetic and evolutionary basis of the adaptation of this wild grass species to drought stress is largely unknown. Peroxidase (POD) may play a role in plant drought tolerance, but whether the allelic variations of genes encoding the specific POD isoenzymes are associated with...
