Brachypodium distachyon (Brachypodium) has been proposed as a model temperate grass because its physical, genetic, and genome attributes (small stature, simple growth requirements, small genome size, availability of diploid ecotypes, annual lifecycle and self fertility) are suitable for a model plant system. Two additional requirements that are necessary before Brachypodium can be widely accepted as a model system are an efficient transformation system and homogeneous inbred reference genotypes. Here we describe the development of inbred lines from 27 accessions of Brachypodium. Determination of c-values indicated that five of the source accessions were diploid. These diploid lines exhibit variation for a variety of morphological traits. Conditions were identified that allow generation times as fast as two months in the diploids. An Agrobacterium-mediated transformation protocol was developed and used to successfully transform 10 of the 19 lines tested with efficiencies ranging from 0.4% to 15%. The diploid accession Bd21 was readily transformed. Segregation of transgenes in the T-1 generation indicated that most of the lines contained an insertion at a single genetic locus. The new resources and methodologies reported here will advance the development and utilization of Brachypodium as a new model system for grass genomics.
