Biotic stresses include the infestation of crops by an array pathogenic microbes like bacteria, viruses, fungi, nematodes, and insect pests. Pathogenic have always threatened crop plants their produce. With growing global population changing environmental conditions, there is a need for that can tolerate stress. Over years, significant progress has been made in elucidating functional role major transcription factors (TFs) families plant disease resistance. Among TFs, APETALA2/ethylene response factor (AP2/ERF) family members emerged as pivotal regulators growth, development, responses to stresses. AP2/ERF are key resistance, integrating pathogen signals mediate salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic (JA), ethylene (ET) pathways, activate defense genes, enhance reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, modulate cell wall defenses effective immune responses. They influence modulating hypersensitive reactions serving virulence targets effectors. By enhancing responses, TFs contribute developing genetically improved with increased resistance biotrophic necrotrophic pathogens, thereby reducing losses improving yield stability under pressure.

Apple replant disease (ARD) is a worldwide problem that threatens the industry. However, genetic mechanism underlying plant resistance against ARD remains unclear. In this study, negative regulatory microRNA in Malus domestica, mdm-miR397b \, and its direct target MdLAC7b (Laccase) was selected for examination based on our previous small RNA degradome sequencing results. Overexpressing mdm-miR397b-MdLAC7b module altered lignin deposition JA contents apple roots, which also led to increased Fusarium solani. Additionally, Y1H library screening using promoter recombinants identified transcription factor, MdERF61, represses transcriptional activity by directly binding two GCC-boxes promoter. summary, results suggest MdERF61-mdm-miR397b-MdLAC7b plays crucial role F. solani offers insights enhancing soilborne diseases apple.

Abstract Soilborne pathogens can be highly devastating, and clubroot, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae , is particularly destructive to cruciferous plants. Although many AP2/ERF family transcription factors (TFs) have crucial physiological functions, very little known regarding their functions in the context of soilborne diseases. Here we investigated roles AINTEGUMENTA-LIKE 7 (AIL7), an AIL sub-family TF family, plant immunity against clubroot. Unexpectedly, both AIL7 overexpression mutant Arabidopsis lines exhibited increased tolerance P. . Subsequent analysis revealed significant transcriptional alterations genes linked pathogen response, along with notable differences associated salicylic acid (SA) jasmonic (JA) defense pathways, compared wild-type Interestingly, there was a tendency for up-regulation SA- JA-related absence, rather than presence, phytohormone analyses confirmed these results. Taken together, has important role maintaining constitutive systemic acquired resistance, involving mediated defense, this, accumulation SA following challenge, primes plants improved clubroot which would shed light on exploring other TFs pathogens.

Peach gummosis, a devastating disease caused by Neofusicoccum parvum , significantly shortens peach tree lifespan and reduces the yield of trees. Despite its impact, molecular mechanism underlying this remains largely unexplored. In study, we used RNA-seq, sugar metabolism measurements, an integrated transcriptional metabolomic analysis to uncover events driving gummosis. Our results revealed that N. infection drastically altered transcripts cell wall degradation-related genes, log 2 Fold change in transcript level Prupe.1G088900 encoding xyloglucan endotransglycosylase decreased 2.6-fold, while Prupe.6G075100 expansin increased 2.58-fold at 12 hpi under stress. Additionally, content increase maltose, sucrose, L-rhamnose, inositol levels early stages infection, D-galactose, D-glucose, D-fructose consistently declined as gummosis progressed. Key genes related degradation starch degradation, well UDP-sugar biosynthesis, were upregulated response . These findings suggest manipulates UDP-sugar-related invade shoot cells, ultimately triggering gum secretion. Furthermore, weighted gene co-expression network (WGCNA) identified two transcription factors, ERF027 bZIP9 central regulators downregulated modules, respectively. Overall, study enhances our understanding physiological responses trees provide valuable insights into mechanisms defense against biotic stresses.

SUMMARY Lupins are key grain legumes for future crop production, providing highly sustainable protein, essential in the face of global warming, food security challenges, and need agriculture. Despite their potential, lupin crops frequently devastated by Colletotrichum lupini , a member world’s top ten fungal pathogenic genera. In our previous study, we identified LluR1 first C. resistance gene, wild Lupinus luteus accession. Further research was necessary to unravel defense mechanisms involved. Histological analysis revealed hypersensitive response against while transcriptome highlighted complex network differentially expressed genes, including TIR-NBS-LRR proteins, response, phenylpropanoid pathways. SNPs were that distinguish protein sequences underlying immunity. These findings, along with orthology other species, offer valuable insights developing breeding strategies enhance lupins, significant potential impacts on food, feed, human nutrition.
