EREBP — Glycine max

Summary

GmEREBP (GLYMA_03G263700V4) on soybean chromosome 3 encodes a protein containing an AP2/ERF domain, with DNA binding and transcription coactivator activity. It is associated with regulation of cellular response to hypoxia, detection of hypoxia, and response to hypoxia, as well as negative regulation of gene expression, upregulation of defense response, and secondary metabolism. The gene is associated with root number, lateral root number, root length, seed protein content, seed size, seed longevity, seed maturation, flowering time, ethylene sensitivity, jasmonic acid content, and disease tolerance. It is also linked to drought tolerance, submergence stress response, anoxia tolerance, hypoxia acclimation, aluminum tolerance, heat tolerance, flooding tolerance, and oxidative stress tolerance. Localization evidence places the product in the nucleus, plasmalemma, and mediator complex. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to hypoxia response, ROS homeostasis, carotenoid biosynthesis, and drought response.
