CBF3 — Cucumis sativus

Summary

CSA_3G751440, also known as CBF3, CsDREB1F, or DREB1F in cucumbers (Cucumis sativus) on chromosome 3, encodes a protein containing an AP2/ERF domain and a DNA-binding domain superfamily. It has DNA binding and transcription factor activity. This gene is associated with responses to cold and heat stress, abscisic acid (ABA) signaling, signal transduction, and chlorophyll fluorescence. It is also linked to processes including lignin and fatty acid metabolism, phosphoglyceride metabolism, threonine anabolism, DNA replication, cell cycle regulation, and nitric oxide storage. The encoded protein localizes to the nucleus. Additionally, this gene is associated with photosynthetic rate and quantum yield. Studies of related genes in other species link the CBF3/DREB1F family to proline content, net photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, stomatal resistance, and salt tolerance.
