CBF1 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsCBF1 (CSA11G019080) on Camelina sativa chromosome 11 encodes a DNA-binding transcription factor with an AP2/ERF domain, also annotated with histone acetylase activity and transcription coactivator activity. The gene is associated with responses to cold, drought, salinity, osmotic stress, and light, as well as the upregulation of chlorophyll breakdown and wax anabolism. It is linked to freezing tolerance, abiotic stress tolerance, and cold acclimation, along with traits including photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, leaf trichome density, proline content, anthocyanin content, and responses to auxin, cytokinin, and brassinosteroids. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to enhanced freezing, dehydration, and salt stress tolerance, as well as drought and heat stress tolerance.
