CBF2 — Arabidopsis thaliana

Summary

AT4G25470, also known as CBF2, DREB1C, or FTQ4, encodes a transcription factor with an AP2/ERF DNA-binding domain and possesses histone acetylase activity, cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding, and transcription coactivator activity. In Arabidopsis thaliana, CBF2 is associated with frost tolerance, leaf senescence, plant longevity, abiotic stress resistance, and ethylene responsiveness. It is linked to the upregulation of chlorophyll breakdown and wax anabolism, as well as raffinose, strigolactone, melatonin, glucosinolate, and salicylic acid anabolism. The gene is connected to cellular response to drought, stomatal opening, regulation of vegetative phase change, and glucose-mediated signalling. CBF2 localises to the nucleus and cytoplasm and is part of a histone acetylase complex. It has been associated with traits including chilling stress response, photosynthetic ability, salt response, transpiration rate, and heterosis.
