Ethylene response factors(ERFs) play important roles in response to plant biotic and abiotic stresses.In this study,a gene encoding a putative AP2/ERF domain-containing protein was isolated by screening a SSH cDNA library from rice and designated as Oryza sativa AP2/ERF-like protein(OsAP2LP) gene.OsAP2LP is 1491 bp in length,interrupted by seven introns,and encodes a putative protein of 348 amino acids.Temporal and spatial expression analysis showed that the OsAP2LP gene was preferentially expressed in roots,panicles,mature embryos and seeds in rice.Real-time quantitative PCR analysis indicated that the expression levels of the OsAP2LP gene were increased under the treatments of drought and gibberellin but decreased under the treatments of low temperature,salt,abscisic acid(ABA) and zeatin.Taken together,these results suggest that OsAP2LP might be involved in stress responses,and probably plays roles as a transcription regulator when plants response to cold,salt and drought stresses through ABA and gibberellin pathways.
