CBF3 — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BRADI_4G35600V3 (CBF3, also known as CBF4) encodes a CBF4 protein containing an AP2/ERF DNA-binding domain, and is annotated as a DNA-binding transcription factor. The gene is associated with cold acclimation and the response to cold, and its product localises to the nucleus. It is also linked to DNA-dependent transcription. Studies of related genes in other species connect the CBF family to winter survival, cold and salinity tolerance, drought tolerance, grain yield, relative yield, spikelet fertility, root dry weight and length, chlorophyll content, quantum yield, and germination rate.
