Grasses dominate many natural ecosystems and produce the bulk
calories consumed by humans either directly in the form of grains
or indirectly through forage/grain fed animals. In addition,
grasses grown as biomass crops are poised to become a significant
source of renewable energy. Despite their economic and
environmental importance, research into the unique aspects of grass
biology has been hampered by the lack of a truly tractable
experimental model system. Over that past decade, the small, annual
grass Brachypodium distachyon has emerged as a viable model system
for the grasses. This book describes the development of extensive
experimental resources (e.g. whole genome sequence, efficient
transformation methods, insertional mutant collections, large
germplasm collections, recombinant inbred lines, resequenced
genomes) that have led many laboratories around the world to adopt
B. distachyon as a model system. The use of B. distachyon to
address a wide range of biological topics (e.g. disease resistance,
cell wall composition, abiotic stress tolerance, root growth and
development, floral development, natural diversity) is also
discussed.
