Brachypodium species, particularly B. distachyon, B. hybridum, and B. stacei, have rapidly become valuable models in plant research, providing important insights into the genetics, physiology, and ecology of grasses. This review examines the multifaceted importance of these species, highlighting their central role in understanding cereal crop relatives and delving into their adaptability to a range of abiotic stresses, particularly in the context of climate change mitigation. Given the increasing threat of unpredictable weather patterns and global food security, the genetic reservoir and adaptability of Brachypodium species offer promising opportunities for sustainable agricultural innovation. Moreover, it is emphasized that maintaining their genetic diversity is critical, not only for continuity of research, but also for the potential ecological and economic benefits they offer. As we move through the complexities of the Anthropocene, Brachypodium is a testament to the complex interplay of genetics, environment, and human endeavor, and calls for a collaborative approach to harness its full potential for future agricultural resilience and sustainability.
