“…Similar results have also been reported for other fruits, such as Actinidia sinensis, in which AdERF9 and EILs suppress the promoter activity of ripening-related genes and regulate fruitripening and -softening processes (Yin et al, 2010). It has also been reported that GmERF113, a novel glycine max ERF transcription factor, may play a crucial role in the defense against Phytophthora sojae infection (Zhao et al, 2017). Fig.…”

Ethylene response factor (ERF) genes have been characterized in numerous plants in which they are involved in responses to biotic and abiotic stress, including cold and heat stress. Cool temperatures is one of the most effective storage methods for delaying browning of fresh-cut lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) root. In model plants, ERF genes have been identified as being responsive to cold and heat stress. Whether ERF is associated with lotus root browning in cooler temperatures has not been studied. In this research, low-temperature storage (4 8C) effectively delayed browning of fresh-cut lotus root. Using RNA sequencing, seven Nelumbo nucifera ERF (NnERF) genes were isolated and studied. Transcriptional analysis indicated NnERF genes responded differently to temperature. NnERF3/4/5 were reduced continuously by a low temperature (4 8C) and NnERF5 was the most strongly downregulated. In contrast, transcripts of NnERF1/2/7 were increased at a low temperature (4 8C). The expression of NnERF6 showed no obvious difference between the two different temperatures. It is proposed that NnERF3/4/5 could be important candidates as regulators of fresh-cut lotus root browning. The roles of other members are also discussed.

Background: Gastrodia elata Bl. f. glauca S. Chow is a medicinal plant. G. elata f. glauca is unavoidably infected by pathogens in their growth process. In previous work, we have successfully isolated and identified Penicillium oxalicum from fungal diseased tubers of G. elata f. glauca . As a widespread epidemic, this fungal disease seriously affected the yield and quality of G. elata f. glauca . We speculate that the healthy G. elata f. glauca might carry resistance genes , which can resist against fungal disease. In this study, healthy and fungal diseased mature tubers of G. elata f. glauca from Changbai Mountain area were used as experimental materials to help us find the potential resistance genes against fungal disease. Results: A total of 7540 differentially expressed Unigenes (DEGs) were identified (FDR<0.01, log2FC>2). The current study screened 10 potential resistance genes. They were attached to transcription factors (TFs) in plant hormone signal transduction pathway and plant pathogen interaction pathway, including WRKY22, GH3, TIFY/JAZ, ERF1, WRKY33, TGA. In addition, four of these genes were closely related to jasmonic acid signaling pathway. Conclusions: The immune response mechanism of fungal disease in G. elata f. glauca is a complex biological process, involving plant hormones such as ethylene, jasmonic acid, salicylic acid and disease-resistant transcription factors such as WRKY, TGA.

“…Another soybean ERF, GmERF113, also positively regulates P. sojae resistance. It interacts with a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor to control expression of the pathogenesisrelated genes (Zhao et al 2017). Many defense-related genes were identified to be manipulated by NbERF173 in this study.…”

Diseases caused by Phytophthora species seriously affect global crop production and food security. Identification of key factors involved in plant resistance is valuable for disease management. Previously, we characterized the transcriptome of Nicotiana benthamiana which was infected with Phytophthora parasitica. Here, we selected NbERF173, one of the most strongly up-regulated genes of N. benthamiana in response to P. parasitica infection, for further investigation. First, NbERF173 encodes a conserved transcription factor in our tested plant species. Second, overexpression of NbERF173 in N. benthamiana enhanced its resistance to P. parasitica, and silencing of NbERF173 significantly promoted the infection of both P. parasitica and Botrytis cinerea. Additionally, we demonstrated that NbERF173 can participate in reprograming of gene expression during P. parasitica infection and manipulate expression patterns of many defense-related genes, including two proteinase inhibitors encoding genes (PI1-B and KTI1). Furthermore, overexpression of PI1-B and KTI1 strengthened plant resistance to P. parasitica and partially restored the deficiency in resistance of NbERF173-silenced N. benthamiana plants. Finally, we found that NbERF173 could not bind to the promoters of PI1-B and KTI1 using yeast one-hybrid assay. Together, our results suggest that NbERF173 positively regulate the disease resistance, probably by reprograming of defense-related genes.
