EREBP — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_2G105380 (MtEREBP) encodes a DNA-binding transcription factor of the AP2/ERF family, possessing transcription coactivator activity and sequence-specific DNA binding. In barrel medic, this gene is associated with the regulation of cellular response to hypoxia, detection of hypoxia, acquisition of desiccation tolerance, regulation of seed maturation, abscission, organ growth, lipogenesis, nitrogen fixation, trichome branching, and secondary metabolism. It is linked to traits including seed longevity, ethylene sensitivity, flowering time, disease tolerance, salt tolerance, and root morphology. Phenotypic associations include drought tolerance, submergence stress tolerance, anoxia tolerance, aluminum tolerance, heat tolerance, flooding tolerance, and Botrytis cinerea resistance. The encoded protein localises to the nucleus, plasma membrane, and mediator complex. Related genes in other species are linked to hypoxia response, ROS homeostasis, carotenoid biosynthesis, and drought response.
