Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Bradi5g01180
• Gene Symbol: Iw1
• Gene Name: Inhibitor of wax 1
• Genome:
• Species: Brachypodium distachyon

Functional Descriptions:

• Using synteny and a large number of F2 gametes, Iw1 was fine-mapped to a sub-cM genetic interval on wheat chromosome arm 2BS, which includes a single collinear gene from the corresponding Brachypodium and rice physical maps.
• Using six pairs of BC2F3 near-isogenic lines, we show that Iw1 inhibits the formation of β- and hydroxy-β-diketones in the peduncle and flag leaf blade cuticles.
• No differences were found in cuticle thickness and carbon isotope discrimination in near-isogenic lines differing at Iw1.
• Iw1 affects epicuticular waxes, without altering the cuticle membrane.
