Cloning and transformation of INDUCER of CBF EXPRESSION1 (ICE1) in tomato

X. H. Yu, Juan, J. X., Gao, Z. L., Zhang, Y., Li, W. Y., and Jiang, X. M., Cloning and transformation of INDUCER of CBF EXPRESSION1 (ICE1) in tomato, vol. 14, pp. 13131-13143, 2015.

The tomato plant (Solanum lycopersicum Mill.) is sensitive to cold, and low field temperatures can result in shortened growth periods and decreased crop yield. Transcription of CRT/DRE-binding factor (CBF) is regulated by INDUCER of CBF EXPRESSION1 (ICE1). CBF activates many downstream genes that confer cold tolerance on plants. ICE1 has been used in genetic engineering to improve cold-resistance in several plant species.
