“…The expression levels were considerably higher in resistant cultivars, reaching 16 times in Zheza‐301 after 8 d. There was research found that the expression patterns of TaERF3 in resistant and susceptible cultivars varied after inoculation with various pathogens (Zhang et al, 2007). Five ERF genes ( Pp‐ERF1.a , Pp‐ERF1.b , Pp‐ERF2.a , Pp‐ERF2.b , and Pp‐ERF2.c ) were identified in peach [ Prunus persica (L.) Batsch], among which Pp‐ERF2.b showed higher transcript level in the susceptible cultivar than in the resistant cultivar after infection with Xanthomonas campestris (Sherif et al, 2012). The differences in response to TYLCV in different tomato cultivars may be related to the specificity of different ERFs to different types of pathogens.…”

Tomato yellow leaf curly virus (TYLCV), transmitted by the whitefly (Bemisia tabaci), causes leaf curling and yellowing, plant dwarfism, and growth inhibition in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.). The APETALA2 (AP2) and ethylene response factor (ERF) transcription factor (TF) family, the largest plant-specific TF family, was identified to function in plant development and pathogen defense. Our study aimed to analyze the mechanism underlying the function of S. lycopersicum ERF (SlERF) TFs in response to TYLCV infection and improve useful information to increase the resistance to TYLCV in tomato. A total of 22 tomato AP2/ERF TFs in response to TYLCV were identified according to transcriptome database. Five ERF-B3 TFs were identified in cultivars Hongbeibei (highly resistant), Zheza-301, Zhefen-702 (both resistant), Jinpeng-1, and Xianke-6 (both susceptible). Interaction network indicated that SlERF TFs could interact with mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). Expression profiles of five ERF-B3 genes (Soly19, Soly36, Soly66, Soly67, and Soly106) were detected by quantitative real-time-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) after TYLCV infection in five tomato cultivars. Soly106 expression was upregulated in five tomato cultivars. The expressions of three genes (Soly19, Soly67, and Soly36) were upregulated in Zheza-301 and Zhefen-702. Soly66 and Soly36 expressions were downregulated in Hongbeibei and Xianke-6, respectively. Yeast one-hybrid showed that the GCC-box binding ability of ERF-B3 TFs differed in resistant and susceptible tomato cultivars. Expression profiles were related to the GCC-box binding ability of SlERF TFs in resistant and susceptible tomato cultivars. The defense mechanism underlying the tomato's response to TYLCV involved a complicated network, which provided important information for us in breeding and genetic analysis.

“…In leaves of P. persica, PpTLP-1 and PpTLP-2 were considerably more highly expressed in a cultivar resistant to Xanthomonas campestris pv. pruni than in a susceptible one in response to bacteria inoculation (Sherif et al 2012). In the case of fruits of Prunus domestica challenged with the fungus Monilinia fructicola, while the levels of PdPR5-1 are constitutively higher in the resistant genotypes, the transcript levels promptly increased during the first days after infection (El-kereamy et al 2011).…”

Leaf peach curl is a devastating disease affecting leaves, flowers and fruits, caused by the dimorphic fungus Taphrina deformans. To gain insight into the mechanisms of fungus pathogenesis and plant responses, leaves of a resistant and two susceptible Prunus persica genotypes were inoculated with blastospores (yeast), and the infection was monitored during 120 h post inoculation (h.p.i.). Fungal dimorphism to the filamentous form and induction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), callose synthesis, cell death and defence compound production were observed independently of the genotype. Fungal load significantly decreased after 120 h.p.i. in the resistant genotype, while the pathogen tended to grow in the susceptible genotypes. Metabolic profiling revealed a biphasic re-programming of plant tissue in susceptible genotypes, with an initial stage co-incident with the yeast form of the fungus and a second when the hypha is developed. Transcriptional analysis of PRs and plant hormone-related genes indicated that pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins are involved in P. persica defence responses against T. deformans and that salicylic acid is induced in the resistant genotype. Conducted experiments allowed the elucidation of common and differential responses in susceptible versus resistant genotypes and thus allow us to construct a picture of early events during T. deformans infection.

“…The same genes were activated in A. thaliana and Z. mays by perception of AtPep1 and ZmPep1, respectively (Huffaker et al ., ; Liu et al ., ). Consistent with a role of P. persica and P. dulcis Pep1 and Pep2 as endogenous elicitors, ERF‐1a , ERF‐2b , PR4 and PR5‐TLP2 defence‐related genes were also induced, at comparable levels and in a similar time course, in response to challenge with Xap (Table ; see also Sherif et al ., ).…”

Fruit crops are regarded as important health promoters and constitute a major part of global agricultural production, and Rosaceae species are of high economic impact. Their culture is threatened by bacterial diseases, whose control is based on preventative treatments using compounds of limited efficacy and negative environmental impact. One of the most economically relevant examples is the pathogen Xanthomonas arboricola pv. pruni (Xap) affecting Prunus spp. The plant immune response against pathogens can be triggered and amplified by plant elicitor peptides (Peps), perceived by specific receptors (PEPRs). Although they have been described in various angiosperms, scarce information is available on Rosaceae species. Here, we identified the Pep precursor (PROPEP), Pep and PEPR orthologues of 10 Rosaceae species and confirmed the presence of the Pep/PEPR system in this family. We showed the perception and elicitor activity of Rosaceae Peps using the Prunus-Xap pathosystem as proof-of-concept. Treatment with nanomolar doses of Peps induced the corresponding PROPEP and a set of defence-related genes in Prunus leaves, and enhanced resistance against Xap. Peps from the same species had the highest efficiencies. Rosaceae Peps could potentially be used to develop natural, targeted and environmentally friendly strategies to enhance the resistance of Prunus species against biotic attackers.
