Encodes a dehydrin protein whose expression is induced early on in response to dehydration stress. This gene's expression to cold occurs in two waves, with early induction occurring within 1 h and secondary induction occurring 5 h after the beginning of cold stress. Expression is also induced in response to ABA but not in response to 2,4-D, BA, and GA3. ERD14 protein is capable of binding Ca2+, especially when the protein is phosphorylated.
