The scientific presentations at the First International Brachypodium Conference (abstracts available at http://www.brachy2013.unimore.it) are evidence of the widespread adoption of Brachypodium distachyon as a model system. Furthermore, the wide range of topics presented (genome evolution, roots, abiotic and biotic stress, comparative genomics, natural diversity, and cell walls) demonstrates that the Brachypodium research community has achieved a critical mass of tools and has transitioned from resource development to addressing biological questions, particularly those unique to grasses.
第一届国际短柄草会议的科学报告（摘要可在 http://www.brachy2013.unimore.it 上获取）证明了广泛采用短柄草作为模式系统。此外，所呈现的广泛主题（基因组进化、根系、非生物和生物胁迫、比较基因组学、自然多样性和细胞壁）表明，短柄草研究社区已经获得了大量的工具，并已经从资源开发过渡到解决生物学问题，特别是那些独特于禾本科的问题。
