CBF3 — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BRADI_4G35630V3, also known as CBF3, CBF5, or DREB1H, encodes a DNA-binding transcription factor containing an AP2/ERF domain, placing it in the DREB1/CBF family. 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 and DREB1H. Studies of related genes in other species connect this gene family to traits including cold tolerance, winter survival, salinity tolerance, drought tolerance, grain yield, relative yield, spikelet fertility, root dry weight, root length, chlorophyll content, quantum yield, germination rate, and seasonality.
