Gene Details:

• Gene ID: orange1.1g024930m
• Gene Symbol: CsbHLH18
• Gene Name: basic helix–loop–helix transcription factor 18
• Genome:
• Species: Citrus sinensis

Functional Descriptions:

• The transcription factor CsbHLH18 of sweet orange functions in modulation of cold tolerance and homeostasis of reactive oxygen species by regulating the antioxidant gene.
• CsbHLH18 is localized in the nuclei and has transcriptional activation activity.
• Overexpression of CsbHLH18 conferred enhanced cold tolerance in transgenic tobacco. The transgenic plants accumulated significantly less reactive oxygen species (ROS), concurrent with increased activities and transcript levels of antioxidant enzymes.
• Overexpression of CsbHLH18 confers enhanced cold tolerance to transgenic tobacco.
• Taken together, these findings indicate that CsbHLH18 plays a positive role in cold tolerance through, at least partly, modulation of ROS homeostasis by directly regulating the antioxidant gene.
