Gene Details:

• Gene ID: GH_D12G2465
• Gene Symbol: GhDREB1B
• Gene Name:
• Genome: TM1_NBI
• Species: Gossypium hirsutum

Functional Descriptions:

• A copy number variant at the HPDA locus on Chromosome D12 (HPDA-D12), encoding a dehydration-responsive element-binding (DREB) transcription factor, GhDREB1B, strongly affects plant architecture in the AS98 mutant.
• GhDREB1B overexpression confers a significant decrease in plant height and branch length, and reduced branch angle.
• Our results suggest that fine-tuning GhDREB1B expression may be a viable engineering strategy for modification of plant architecture favorable to high planting density in cotton.
• Elevation of &&GhDREB1B** transcription by a copy number variant significantly improves chilling tolerance in cotton.
