AP2/ERF Transcription Factor NbERF-IX-33 Is Involved in the Regulation of Phytoalexin Production for the Resistance of to .

Plants recognize molecular patterns unique to a certain group of microbes to induce effective resistance mechanisms. Elicitins are secretory proteins produced by plant pathogenic oomycete genera including and Treatment of INF1 (an elicitin produced by ) induces a series of defense responses in species, including reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, transient induction of ethylene production, hypersensitive cell death and accumulation of the sesquiterpenoid phytoalexin capsidiol. In this study, we analyzed the expression profiles of genes after INF1 treatment by RNAseq analysis.
