Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: GhERF6
• Gene Name: ethylene response factor 6
• Genome: TM1_NBI
• Species: Gossypium hirsutum

Functional Descriptions:

• Cotton Major Latex Protein 28 (GhMLP28) Functions as a Positive Regulator of the Ethylene Responsive Factor 6 (GhERF6) in Defense against Verticillium dahliae.
• Further analysis revealed that GhMLP28 interacted with cotton ethylene response factor 6 (GhERF6) and facilitated the binding of GhERF6 to GCC-box element. Transient expression assay demonstrated that GhMLP28 enhanced the transcription factor activity of GhERF6, which led to the augmented expression of some GCC-box genes.
• GhERF6 Binds to the GCC Box and Acts as a Transcription Factor,demonstrating that GhERF6 could bind specifically to the GCC box in vitro.
• These results demonstrate that GhMLP28 acts as a positive regulator of GhERF6, and synergetic actions of the two proteins may contribute substantially to protection against V. dahliae infection in cotton plants.
