Brachypodium distachyon is a temperate annual grass that has a short life cycle, a small genome size, self fertility, and a small physical stature. The relationship with major cereal crop including wheat, Brachypodium is considered as a monocot model plant. Recently, the cell wall composition of Brachypodium is reported closely related with maize and Miscanthus giganteus. Therefore, Brachypodium is emrging as a powerful model plant for bioethanol production. Here, Brachypodium was chronically irradiated with the doses of 50 Gy, 100 Gy, 150 Gy, 200Gy, 250Gy, and 300 Gy. Plant height and fresh weight were observed dosage-dependent negative effect. However, tiller number and internode diameter were found to be increased their value as compared to control. The cell wall yield showed a decreased tendency with dosage-dependent negative, but cell wall yield of 50 Gy and 200 Gy were detected higher than control. The lignin content of irradiated Brachypodium stem was reduced with dosage incease The ratios of lignin content to control were 97.6% (50 Gy), 91.9 (100 Gy), 87.3% (150 Gy), 89.4% (200 Gy), 81.6% (250 Gy), 85.2% (300 Gy). SEM image analysis demonstrated that cell size of 300 Gy plant was decreased by 45% of control. RT-PCR was performed to analyze transcript accumulation of lignin pathway related genes with irradiated Brachypodium stem. CCR, PAL, C4H, and 4CL were detected at least 2 times higher expression than control at 150 Gy, 200 Gy, 250 Gy. The preteatment and enzyme hydrolysis will be discussed for bioethanol production.
