ERF1 — Capsicum annuum

Summary

CaERF1 (T459_08704) on pepper chromosome 3 encodes an ethylene-responsive transcription factor 2 that localises to the nucleus and binds DNA, cis-regulatory regions and proteins. The gene is associated with fruit ripening, seed germination, fruit length, fruit weight, plant height, photosynthetic rate, heterosis, flavonoid content, seed viability, salt response and ethylene sensitivity. It has been connected to nematode resistance, insect herbivory resistance, phenolics accumulation and defence responses to herbivory. Annotated biological process associations include defence response, signal transduction, ethylene-mediated signalling, jasmonic acid and lignin anabolism, and nitric oxide storage. Related genes in other species link the family to abscisic acid sensitivity, cadmium tolerance, lateral root emergence and herbivore defence, as well as bacterial leaf spot resistance and heat stress tolerance.
