Abstract excerpt
A new member of the tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) AP2/ERF (ethylene response factor) transcription factor family, designated NtERF5, has been isolated by yeast one-hybrid screening. In vitro, recombinant NtERF5 protein weakly binds GCC box cis-elements, which mediate pathogen-regulated transcription of several PR (pathogenesis related) genes. NtERF5 transcription is transiently activated by wounding, by infection...
