Transcription activator that binds to the GCC-box cis-acting elements found in the promoter regions of ethylene-responsive genes (PubMed:23057995). Acts downstream of MYC2 in the jasmonate-mediated response to Botrytis cinerea infection (PubMed:28733419). With MYC2 forms a transcription module that regulates pathogen-responsive genes (PubMed:28733419). Induced by wounding and infection with the fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea. Belongs to the AP2/ERF transcription factor family. ERF subfamily.
