ERF1 — Daucus carota subsp. sativus
Summary
DCAR_018076, designated DcERF1 (also known as DcERF2, DcERF13, DcEREBP), encodes an AP2/ERF domain-containing transcription factor on carrot chromosome 5. The protein localises to the nucleus and binds sequence-specific DNA, functioning as a DNA-binding transcription factor. DcERF1 is associated with ethylene-mediated signalling, defence responses, secondary metabolism, root development, and fruit ripening. It has been linked to root fresh weight, photosynthetic rate, ethylene sensitivity, nematode resistance, insect herbivory resistance, and phenolics accumulation. Related genes in other species link the family to abscisic acid sensitivity, cadmium tolerance, lateral root emergence, disease resistance, bacterial leaf spot resistance, and heat stress tolerance.
