CBF6 — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BRADI_4G35650V3, also known as CBF6, CBF7, or DREB1A, encodes a CBF7 protein containing an AP2/ERF DNA-binding domain and is annotated as a DNA-binding transcription factor. It is localized to the nucleus and is associated with response to hormone, response to thirst, and DNA-dependent transcription. The gene is linked to pathways involved in salinity response and abiotic stress responses. Studies of the related rice DREB1A gene connect the family to freezing tolerance, salt tolerance, drought tolerance, and cold stress. Additionally, sequence similarity links the family to traits such as cold tolerance, salinity tolerance, drought tolerance, grain yield, winter survival, submergence tolerance, heat tolerance, germination rate, seedling height, spikelet fertility, anthesis time, and chlorophyll content.
