Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: Over the past several years, Brachypodium distachyon (Brachypodium) has emerged as a tractable model system to study biological questions relevant to the grasses. To place its relevance in the larger context of plant biology, we outline here the expanding adoption of Brachypodium as a model grass and compare this to the early history of another plant model, Arabidopsis. In this context, Brachypodium has followed an accelerated path in which the development of genomic resources, most notably a whole genome sequence, preceded or occurred concurrently with the generation of other experimental tools (e.g., highly efficient transformation and large collections of natural accessions). This update provides a snapshot of available and upcoming Brachypodium resources and an overview of the community including the trajectory of Brachypodium as a model grass.
