Posttranslational regulation of multiple clock-related transcription factors triggers cold-inducible gene expression in Arabidopsis.

ABSTRACT: Cold stress is an adverse environmental condition that affects plant growth, development, and crop productivity. Under cold stress conditions, the expression of numerous genes that function in the stress response and tolerance is induced in various plant species, and the dehydration-responsive element (DRE) binding protein 1/C-repeat binding factor (DREB1/CBF) transcription factors function as master switches for cold-inducible gene expression. Cold stress strongly induces these DREB1 genes. Therefore, it is important to elucidate the mechanisms of DREB1 expression in response to cold stress to clarify the perception and response of cold stress in plants. Previous studies indicated that the central oscillator components of the circadian clock, CIRCADIAN CLOCK-ASSOCIATED 1 (CCA1) and LATE E
