THE KEY TO SAVE THE PLANET

By fixing carbon ,producing oxygen ,stabilising soils and ecosystems , plants are considered the heart of our planet's balance that's why understanding how they function has become crucial to face climate changing and insurance of the future generations existence by covering food security and economic sustainability .

WHY USING BRACHYPODIUM AS A MODEL

Leading Initiatives to Preserve and Restore the Environment

brachypodium

A Small Wild Grass Model

Wild annual ,self-fertile grass species in the Poaceae (grass) family that naturally occurs around the world.

Rapid Growth & Generations

Under controlled conditions, the complete life cycle is typically ~8–12 weeks from germination to seed set.

Small Genome Size

With low repetitive contents DNA.

laboratory experience

Easy Laboratory Manipulation

Highly potential for genetic analysis and engineering.

BRACHYPODIUM SEQUENCING

The sequencing of the Brachypodium genome has revealed key genetic pathways , the mechanisms applied and the major candidate gens that control how plants respond climate changes on a molecular level .The first high-quality Brachypodium reference genome was generated by using a combination of the whole genome shotgun sequencing and Sanger sequencing of multiple libraries involve :

Plasmid .
Fosmid.
Bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) libraries.

In this recent years Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) has take a place to resequence multiple Brachypodium accessions .This efforts has expanded the scientists knowledge about:

The major genes involved in stress resilient.
The genes applied in how grasses may respond to the future climate changes .
Drought and heat tolerance .
