Differential regulation of tomato ethylene responsive factor LeERF3b, a putative repressor, and the activator Pti4 in ripening mutants and in response to environmental stresses.

Abstract excerpt

Ethylene responsive transcription factors (ERFs) can be grouped into different classes with either gene activator or repressor activity. We have isolated a tomato ERF cDNA clone (LeERF3b) with sequence similarity to class II (repressor class) of the ERF family, which is regulated differently from Pti4 (a tomato ERF domain-containing gene that activates other genes). LeERF3b has similarities to other tomato ERF...
