Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Bradi3g46007
• Gene Symbol: BUZZ
• Gene Name:
• Genome: reference Bd21 genome
• Species: Brachypodium distachyon

Functional Descriptions:

• BUZZ: an essential gene for postinitiation root hair growth and a mediator of root architecture in Brachypodium distachyon.
• Recovered from a forward-genetic screen in Brachypodium distachyon, the BUZZ mutant initiates root hairs but they fail to elongate. In addition, BUZZ roots grow twice as fast as wild-type roots. Also, lateral roots show increased sensitivity to nitrate, whereas primary roots are less sensitive to nitrate.
• BUZZ mRNA localizes to epidermal cells and develops root hairs and, in the latter, partially colocalizes with the NRT1.1A nitrate transporter.
• BUZZ is required for tip growth after root hair initiation and root architectural responses to nitrate.
