AP2/EREBP transcription factors are known to be unique in plants and exist extensively. They are involved in plant growth, development and many physiological and biochemical processes, such as: pathogen and stress resistance, hormone response, floral organogenesis, and so on. Three cDNAs encoding AP2/EREBP transcription factors were isolated from cotton cDNAs libraries. They were defined GhAP2/EREBP1, GhAP2/EREBP2 and GhAP2/EREBP3. Expression analysis of the 3 genes was carried out by quantitative real-time RT-PCR. The results showed that GhAP...
