“…These proteins contain a conserved AP2/ERF domain (Riechmann et al, 2000; Sharoni et al, 2011; Licausi et al, 2013). One of the best-studied is a group of CBF/DREBs that activate the expression of many stress-related genes and improve drought, salt, and cold tolerance (Stockinger et al, 1997; Liu et al, 1998; Kasuga et al, 1999; Sakuma et al, 2006; Lata and Prasad, 2011; Schmidt et al, 2013; Zhuang et al, 2013; Rong et al, 2014; Yang et al, 2014, 2016; Duan et al, 2015). …”
