NCBI Summary
Encodes a member of the ERF (ethylene response factor) subfamily B-1 of ERF/AP2 transcription factor family (LEAFY PETIOLE). The protein contains one AP2 domain. There are 15 members in this subfamily including ATERF-3, ATERF-4, ATERF-7, and LEAFY PETIOLE. Acts as a positive regulator of gibberellic acid-induced germination.

UniProt Comments
Cell division-promoting factor involved in leaf blade differentiation, inflorescence branching, as well as in carpel and silique shape. Promotes the number of xylem cells. Regulates positively the gibberellin signaling pathway leading to germination, hypocotyl elongation, and leaf expansion. Probably acts as a transcriptional activator. Binds to the GCC-box pathogenesis-related promoter element. May be involved in the regulation of gene expression by stress factors and by components of stress signal transduction pathways .
