CBF1 — Hordeum vulgare subsp. vulgare

Summary

HORVU.MOREX.R3.5HG0497670, also known as CBF1, CBF10A, or HvDREB1H, encodes a DNA-binding transcription factor containing an AP2/ERF domain. Located on chromosome 5H, the gene is associated with cold acclimation, vernalization response, response to cold and salt stress, signal transduction, and embryogenesis. Its product localizes to the nucleus. The gene has been associated with winter survival, cold tolerance, drought tolerance, salinity tolerance, and root dry weight. Studies of related genes in other species link the CBF family to grain yield, relative yield, spikelet fertility, chlorophyll content, quantum yield, germination rate, and root length.
