ERF2 — Capsicum annuum
Summary
CaERF2 (T459_00699) on pepper chromosome 1 encodes an ethylene-responsive transcription factor 1 containing an AP2/ERF domain, a DNA-binding domain superfamily member that binds sequence-specific DNA and transcription cis-regulatory regions. The gene is associated with regulation of ethylene-mediated signaling, induced systemic resistance via jasmonic acid, jasmonic acid and lignin biosynthesis, phloem or xylem histogenesis, response to nematodes, defense response, fruit ripening, seed germination, cell death, and cell division. It localizes to the nucleus and protoplasm. CaERF2 is linked to salt response, ethylene sensitivity, pathogen defense, post-anoxia recovery, and ethylene biosynthesis. Studies of related genes in other species connect the ERF2 family to disease resistance, heat and cold tolerance, drought tolerance, jasmonate-responsive gene expression, and resistance to Botrytis cinerea and TYLCV.
