EREBP — Glycine max

Summary

GmEREBP (GLYMA_16G012600V4) on soybean chromosome 16 encodes a transcription factor with an AP2/ERF DNA-binding domain, annotated with transcription coactivator activity, cis-regulatory region binding, DNA binding, and protein binding. It is associated with the regulation of cellular response to hypoxia, detection of hypoxia, and negative regulation of gene expression, as well as responses to water, sucrose transport, starch anabolism, secondary metabolism, trichome branching, abscission, and organ growth. The gene is linked to traits including seed protein content, seed weight, seed size, seed longevity, seed maturation, oleic and linoleic acid content, root number and length, lateral root number, flowering time, disease tolerance, and salt tolerance. Phenotypic associations include drought tolerance, flooding tolerance, submergence stress tolerance, anoxia tolerance, hypoxia acclimation, heat tolerance, aluminum tolerance, oxidative stress tolerance, and Botrytis cinerea resistance. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to hypoxia response, ROS homeostasis, carotenoid biosynthesis, and drought response.
