CBF3 — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BRADI_4G35620V3, also known as BdCBF3, encodes a DNA-binding transcription factor belonging to the AP2/ERF domain family, specifically the DRE1A-I subfamily. It is localized to the nucleus and is associated with cold acclimation, response to cold, and DNA-dependent transcription. The gene is associated with these cold stress responses in Brachypodium distachyon. Studies of related genes in other species, such as rice DREB1H and CBF3 homologs, link the family to cold tolerance and transcriptional regulation under low-temperature stress.
