Valine-glutamine (VQ) motif-containing proteins play a crucial role in plant biotic stress responses. Apple Valsa canker, caused by the ascomycete Valsa mali, stands as one of the most severe diseases affecting apple trees. Nonetheless, the underlying resistance mechanism of VQ proteins against this disease has remained largely unexplored. This study reports MdVQ12, a VQ motif-containing protein, as a positive regulator of apple Valsa canker resistance. Genetic transformation experiments demonstrated that MdVQ12 overexpression increased resistance to V. mali, while gene silencing lines exhibited significantly reduced resistance. MdVQ12 interacted with the transcription factor MdWRKY23, which bound to the promoter of the histone deacetylase gene MdHDA19, activating its expression. MdHDA19 enhanced apple resistance to V. mali by participating in the jasmonic acid (JA) and ethylene (ET) signalling pathways. Additionally, MdVQ12 promoted the transcriptional activity of MdWRKY23 towards MdHDA19. Our findings reveal that MdVQ12 enhances apple resistance to V. mali by regulating MdHDA19 expression and thereby regulating the JA and ET signalling pathways, offering potential candidate gene resources for breeding apple Valsa canker-resistant germplasm.

Valsa canker, caused by fungal pathogens in Valsa species, is a fungal disease of apple and pear growing in China and even in Asia. Malectin-like kinases play crucial roles in plant recognition of the pathogen-induced signals and subsequent activation of partially host immune responses. However, the role of MEDOS1 (MDS1), a Malectin-like kinase, in plant immunity has not yet been extensively explored.

Article Synopsis
- Apple Valsa canker disease, caused by Valsa mali, threatens apple tree growth, and this study explores the role of specific MAPK signaling pathway components (VmMkh1, VmMkk1, and VmSpm1) in this process.
- Deletion of these components slows growth, reduces the production and germination of conidia, and hampers survival under stress conditions (like high salinity and cell wall disruptors).
- The research indicates that these components are crucial in regulating various aspects like growth, stress response, and pathogenicity associated with Valsa mali.

Apple Valsa canker (AVC) caused by the Ascomycete Valsa mali, seriously constrains the production and quality of apple fruits. The symptomless incubation characteristics of Valsa mali make it highly challenging to detect AVC at an early infection stage. After infecting the wound of apple bark, the pathogenic hyphae of AVC will expand and colonize the phloem tissue.
