About Brachypodium distachyon
Brachypodium distachyon, like Arabidopsis thaliana, has several features that recommend it as a model plant for functional genomic studies, especially in the grasses. It has a small, diploid genome (~355 Mb), small physical size, a short life-cycle and few growth requirements. Brachypodium is related to the major cereal grain species but is understood to be more closely related to the Triticeae (wheat and barley) than to the other cereals.
