Is associated with a DNA binding complex that binds to the G box, a well-characterized cis-acting DNA regulatory element found in plant genes. May form a complex with the transcriptional activator VP1 and the bZIP transcription factor EMBP1. Expressed in seedlings, internodes and panicles. By wounding, drought and salt stresses, benzothiadiazole (BTH), ethephon, methyl jasmonate (MeJa), hydrogen peroxide, abscisic acid (ABA) and incompatible and compatible races of rice blast fungus (M.grisea) and rice bacterial blight (X.oryzae). Belongs to the 14-3-3 family.
