EREBP — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_010G124700 (PvEREBP, also known as PvERF74, PvRAP2.2 or PvRAP2.12) on chromosome 10 of French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) encodes a DNA-binding transcription factor of the AP2/ERF family, with transcription coactivator activity and the ability to bind cis-regulatory regions, DNA and proteins. It is associated with responses to hypoxia, including detection, cellular response and regulation of that response, as well as ethylene and jasmonic acid signalling, red and far-red light phototransduction, and regulation of flower development, root development, trichome branching and papilla formation. The gene has been linked to traits including drought tolerance, flooding survival, submergence stress tolerance, anoxia tolerance, hypoxia acclimation, aluminium tolerance, heat tolerance, high light tolerance, Botrytis cinerea resistance, seed size, seed dormancy, flowering time, root morphology, adventitious root formation, ethylene sensitivity, jasmonic acid content, and oxidative stress tolerance.
