Article Synopsis
- DOF proteins are important transcription factors in plants, influencing development and defense, but research on them in grapes is limited.
- In this study, the researchers identified and characterized a specific DOF gene, VvDOF3, from grapevine that can activate transcription and is located in the nucleus.
- The findings showed that VvDOF3 is triggered by substances and infections related to plant defense and enhances resistance to powdery mildew in Arabidopsis through the salicylic acid signaling pathway.
