CBF3 — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BRADI_1G77120V3, symbol CBF3 and also known as BdCBF3, encodes a DNA-binding transcription factor belonging to the AP2/ERF domain family (DRE1A-I subfamily) and is localised to the nucleus. In Brachypodium distachyon, this gene is associated with cold acclimation and the response to cold, as well as DNA-dependent transcription. Studies of related genes in other species link the CBF/DREB1 family to winter survival, cold tolerance, salinity tolerance, drought tolerance, grain yield, relative yield, spikelet fertility, root dry weight, root length, germination rate, chlorophyll content, quantum yield, and seasonality.
