The Brachypodium (Poacea) genus is a useful model system for studying grass genome organisation. Its key representative B. distachyon is well characterised at the cytogenetic and genomic level, unlike other Brachypodium...

Functional drought response in the Brachypodiumdistachyon species complex
Some polyploid species show enhanced physiological tolerance to drought compared with their progenitors. However, very few studies have examined the consistency of physiological drought response between genetically...

Functional genomics and hybrid allopolyploid speciation in grass monocots
Morphological traits and metabolics reveal inter- and intra-species diversity within the model annual grasses Brachypodium distachyon, B. stacei and B. hybridum. López-Alvarez et al. investigate inter- and intraspecific...
New taxonomy of Brachypodium distachyon
The model grass species Brachypodium distachyon has three cytotypes that are currently regarded as part of a single species. Catalán et al. combine analysis of phenotypic traits with multiple cytogenetic analyses and...
