CBF1 — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BRADI_4G35570V3, symbol CBF1, encodes a DNA-binding transcription factor containing an AP2/ERF domain. In Brachypodium distachyon, this nuclear-localised gene is associated with cold acclimation, the response to cold, habituation, memory, and DNA-dependent transcription. Studies of related genes in other species link the CBF family to cold tolerance, winter survival, salinity tolerance, drought tolerance, and traits such as grain yield, relative yield, spikelet fertility, root dry weight, root length, chlorophyll content, quantum yield, and germination rate. The gene is also known as CBF3, DREB1H, and BdCBF12 among other synonyms on chromosome 4.
