EREBP — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_009G262200, designated PvEREBP on chromosome 9 of French bean, encodes an AP2/ERF domain-containing transcription factor with DNA binding and transcription coactivator activity. The gene is associated with responses to hypoxia, including detection, cellular response, and regulation of gene expression under low oxygen. It is linked to ethylene and jasmonic acid signaling, red and far-red light phototransduction, and regulation of flower development, root development, and trichome branching. Associations with agronomic traits include drought tolerance, flooding tolerance, submergence stress tolerance, anoxia tolerance, aluminum tolerance, heat tolerance, high light tolerance, Botrytis cinerea resistance, seed size, seed dormancy, flowering time, and root morphology. The encoded protein localizes to the nucleus, plasma membrane, and mediator complex, and is linked to negative regulation of gene expression and ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis.
