The most widely used species, Brachypodium distachyon, is a C-3 plant that is distributed worldwide. B. distachyon has a small genome, short life cycle, and small stature and is amenable to genetic transformation. Due to the intensive and thoughtful development of this grass as a model organism, it is well-suited for laboratory and field experimentation. The intent of this review is to introduce this model system genus and describe some key outcomes of nearly a decade of research since the first draft genome sequence of the flagship species, B. distachyon, was completed. We discuss characteristics and features of B. distachyon and its congeners that make the genus a valuable model system for studies in ecology, evolution, genetics, and genomics in the grasses, review current hot topics in Brachypodium research, and highlight the potential for future analysis using this system in the coming years. 000129443 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA-FSE/Bioflora$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/CGL2016-79790-P 000129443 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000129443 590__ $$a8.631$$b2018 000129443 591__ $$aBIOCHEMISTRY & MOLECULAR BIOLOGY$$b22 / 294 = 0.075$$c2018$$dQ1$$eT1 000129443 591__ $$aPLANT SCIENCES$$b6 / 226 = 0.027$$c2018$$dQ1$$eT1 000129443 591__ $$aCELL BIOLOGY$$b25 / 191 = 0.131$$c2018$$dQ1$$eT1 000129443 592__ $$a5.624$$b2018 000129443 593__ $$aPlant Science$$c2018$$dQ1 000129443 593__ $$aCell Biology$$c2018$$dQ1 000129443 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/review$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000129443 700__ $$aIrigoyen, Sonia 000129443 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0001-7793-5259$$aCatalan, Pilar$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000129443 700__ $$aMandadi, Kranthi K. 000129443 7102_ $$15011$$2063$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
