Ethylene-responsive element binding protein explained

Ethylene-responsive element binding protein (EREBP) is a homeobox gene from Arabidopsis thaliana and other plants which encodes a transcription factor.^[1] EREBP is responsible in part for mediating the response in plants to the plant hormone ethylene.^{[2] [3]}
