The prevention of Botrytis cinerea infection and the study of grape seedlessness are very important for grape industries. Finding correlated regulatory genes is an important approach towards understanding their molecular mechanisms.• Ethylene responsive factor (ERF) gene family play critical roles in defence networks and the growth of plants. To date, no large-scale study of the ERF proteins associated with pathogen defence and ovule development has been performed in grape (Vitis vinifera L.). In the present study, we identified 113 ERF genes (VvERF) and named them based on their chromosome locations. The ERF genes could be divided into 11 groups based on a multiple sequence alignment and a phylogenetic comparison with homologues from Arabidopsis thaliana. Synteny analysis and Ka/Ks ratio calculation suggested that segmental and tandem duplications contributed to the expansion of the ERF gene family. The evolutionary relationships between the VvERF genes were investigated by exon-intron structure characterisation, and an analysis of the cis-acting regulatory elements in their promoters suggested potential regulation after stress or hormone treatments.• Expression profiling after infection with the fungus, B. cinerea, indicated that ERF genes function in responses to pathogen attack. In addition, the expression levels of most ERF genes were much higher during ovule development in seedless grapes, suggesting a role in ovule abortion related to seedlessness.• Taken together, these results indicate that VvERF proteins are involved in responses to Botrytis cinerea infection and in grape ovule development. This information may help guide strategies to improve grape production.

“…17, there are various transcription factors in the target genes of pistachio miRNAs. Among these transcription factors AP2/ERF, MYB and NAC have been demonstrated to play an important regulatory role in plant responses to abiotic stresses [112][113][114] . NAC-domain proteins as a transcription factor were reported to be salt induced in many species 115,116 .…”

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play crucial roles in regulating gene expression in response to plant stresses. Given the importance regulatory roles of lncRNAs, providing methods for predicting the function of these molecules, especially in non-model plants, is strongly demanded by researchers. Here, we constructed a reference sequence for lncRNAs in P. vera (Pistacia vera L.) with 53220 transcripts. In total, we identified 1909 and 2802 salt responsive lncRNAs in Ghazvini, a salt tolerant cultivar, after 6 and 24 h salt treatment, respectively and 1820 lncRNAs in Sarakhs, a salt sensitive cultivar, after 6 h salt treatment. Functional analysis of these lncRNAs by several hybrid methods, revealed that salt responsive NAT-related lncRNAs associated with transcription factors, CERK1, LEA, Laccase genes and several genes involved in the hormone signaling pathways. Moreover, gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis of salt responsive target genes related to top five selected lncRNAs showed their involvement in the regulation of ATPase, cation transporter, kinase and UDP-glycosyltransferases genes. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) experiment results of lncRNAs, pre-miRNAs and mature miRNAs were in accordance with our RNA-seq analysis. In the present study, a comparative analysis of differentially expressed lncRNAs and microRNA precursors between salt tolerant and sensitive pistachio cultivars provides valuable knowledge on gene expression regulation under salt stress condition. Pistacia belongs to Anacardiaceae family and contains 13 or more species, which among them pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) is the only cultivated and economically important species that is called as the 'green gold tree'. The other species are used mainly as a rootstock for pistachio cultivation 1,2. Like many other fruit trees, P. vera is hard to root and thus requires a rootstock for vegetative propagation 3. Pistachio is a deciduous (2n = 30), wind-pollinated tree species 4,5. Studies indicate that pistachio probably originated in the Middle East 6-8. It has a long history of cultivation (3000-4000 years) in Iran 9. In 2017, Iran has been ranked first in area harvested (429535 ha) and production quantity (574987 tons) of pistachio among United States, Turkey, and Syria as biggest pistachio producer countries 10. According to the number of pistachio genotypes, Iran is one of the rich countries in the world 7,8,11. In addition to fruit, other parts of plant, including leaf, flower and resins, have pharmacological properties 12,13. Salinity is major and ever-increasing problem in arid and semi-arid regions that affect plant production and growth throughout the world 14. The cultivated areas of pistachio in Iran are often in arid and semi-arid regions that the most important problem for economic crop production in these areas is high concentration of ions

“…In addition to data from the model plants Arabidopsis and rice, ATFs from other plant species have also shown similar biological functions. Overexpression of the Jatropha curcas DREB2 in rice resulted in a dwarf phenotype, while expression levels of several GA biosynthesis genes, including OsGA20ox1 , were significantly decreased in the transgenic plants (Tang et al ., ). It is noted that, although those ATFs described in the previous paragraph are indeed involved in ABA and/or GA biosynthesis pathways, the direct target genes of most of those ATFs have still to be identified (Table ).…”

APETALA 2‐domain‐containing transcription factors: focusing on abscisic acid and gibberellins antagonism

Summary The phytohormones abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellin (GA) antagonistically mediate diverse plant developmental processes including seed dormancy and germination, root development, and flowering time control, and thus the optimal balance between ABA and GA is essential for plant growth and development. Although more than a half and one century have passed since the initial discoveries of ABA and GA, respectively, the precise mechanisms underlying ABA–GA antagonism still need further investigation. Emerging evidence indicates that two APETALA 2 (AP2)‐domain‐containing transcription factors (ATFs), ABI4 in Arabidopsis and OsAP2‐39 in rice, play key roles in ABA and GA antagonism. These two transcription factors precisely regulate the transcription pattern of ABA and GA biosynthesis or inactivation genes, mediating ABA and GA levels. In this Viewpoint article, we try to shed light on the effects of ATFs on ABA–GA antagonism, and summarize the overlapping but distinct biological functions of these ATFs in the antagonism between ABA and GA. Finally, we strongly propose that further research is needed into the detailed roles of additional numerous ATFs in ABA and GA crosstalk, which will improve our understanding of the antagonism between these two phytohormones.
