ERF74 — Arabidopsis thaliana

Summary

AT1G53910, also known as ERF74 or RAP2.12, encodes an AP2/ERF domain-containing protein that binds DNA and exhibits fatty-acyl-CoA and lead ion binding activities. This Arabidopsis thaliana gene is associated with responses to hypoxia, anoxia, and ethylene stimulus, as well as with ROS homeostasis. ERF74 is linked to submergence response, nitrate sensitivity, seed set, yield, root hair length, and vegetative growth time. It is also associated with lead accumulation, hypoxia tolerance, and disease susceptibility to Fusarium graminearum. The gene product localizes to the nucleus, cytosol, and plasma membrane. Related genes in other species are linked to grain size, tiller number, drought sensitivity, and carotenoid content.
