CBF3 — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BRADI_2G60340V3, also known as BdCBF3, encodes a DNA-binding transcription factor belonging to the AP2/ERF domain superfamily, specifically the DRE1A-I subfamily. It is localized to the nucleus and is associated with cold acclimation and the response to cold, as well as DNA-dependent transcription. In Brachypodium distachyon, this gene is linked to the related genes CBF1, CBF3, and DREB1H. Studies of related genes in other species connect BdCBF3 to cold tolerance, winter survival, salinity tolerance, drought tolerance, grain yield, relative yield, spikelet fertility, root dry weight and length, chlorophyll content, quantum yield, and germination rate.
