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. Based on their expression patterns, genes were categorized into 20 clusters and 4,761 (8.3%) out of 57,140 genes were assigned to the clusters for INF1-induced genes. All genes encoding enzymes dedicated to capsidiol production, 5--aristolochene (EA) synthase (, 10 copies) and EA dehydrogenase (, 6 copies), and some genes for ethylene production, such as 1-aminocyclopropane 1-carboxylate (ACC) synthase () and ACC oxidase (), were significantly upregulated by INF1 treatment. Analysis of and promoters revealed that AGACGCC (GCC box-like motif) is the essential cis-element required for INF1-induced expression of genes. Given that the GCC box is known to be targeted by ERF (ethylene-responsive factor) transcription factors, we created a complete list of genes encoding AP2/ERF family transcription factors, and identified 45 out of 337 genes in the clusters for INF1-induced genes. Among INF1-induced genes, silencing of compromised resistance against and INF1-induced production of capsidiol. Recombinant NbERF-IX-33 protein can bind to the promoter sequence of , suggesting that NbERF-IX-33 is a transcription factor directly regulating the expression of genes for phytoalexin production.

The mungbean yellow mosaic India virus (MYMIV, Begomovirus vignaradiataindiaense) causes Yellow Mosaic Disease (YMD) in mungbean (Vigna radiata L.). The biochemical assays including total phenol content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), ascorbic acid (AA), DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl), and FRAP (Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power) were used to study the mungbean plants defense response to MYMIV infection.
