EREBP — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MtEREBP (MTR_8G022820) in barrel medic encodes a DNA-binding transcription factor with an AP2/ERF domain, annotated as having transcription coactivator activity and cis-regulatory region binding. It is associated with the regulation of cellular response to hypoxia, detection of hypoxia, and acquisition of desiccation tolerance, as well as seed maturation, abscission, organ growth, trichome branching, nitrogen fixation, and secondary metabolism. The gene is linked to traits including seed longevity, ethylene sensitivity, flowering time, disease tolerance, and salt tolerance. Phenotypic associations include drought tolerance, submergence stress tolerance, anoxia tolerance, aluminum tolerance, Botrytis cinerea resistance, heat tolerance, and flooding survival. Related genes in other species are linked to hypoxia response, ROS homeostasis, carotenoid biosynthesis, and drought response.
