“…Expression pattern of ERF2 and ERF3 impart the acclimation response against cold stress and transgenic Arabidopsis lines, also exhibiting low electrolyte leakage with improved root architecture [137]. Similarly, higher measurements for antioxidants were observed, while lower MDA contents were observed due to the upregulation of cold responsive genes (VaERF080 and VaERF087) in Arabidopsis [138]. A recent study also showed higher antioxidants, lower ROS, and improved cold tolerance by overexpression of BpERF13 in birch [139].…”

Increasing vulnerability of crops to a wide range of abiotic and biotic stresses can have a marked influence on the growth and yield of major crops, especially sugarcane (Saccharum spp.). In response to various stresses, plants have evolved a variety of complex defense systems of signal perception and transduction networks. Transcription factors (TFs) that are activated by different pathways of signal transduction and can directly or indirectly combine with cis-acting elements to modulate the transcription efficiency of target genes, which play key regulators for crop genetic improvement. Over the past decade, significant progresses have been made in deciphering the role of plant TFs as key regulators of environmental responses in particular important cereal crops; however, a limited amount of studies have focused on sugarcane. This review summarizes the potential functions of major TF families, such as WRKY, NAC, MYB and AP2/ERF, in regulating gene expression in the response of plants to abiotic and biotic stresses, which provides important clues for the engineering of stress-tolerant cultivars in sugarcane.

“…Moreover, reports have described their prominent role in regulating abiotic stress responses (e.g., cold, salinity, drought, heat, and osmotic stress) in various plants [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ]. Additional reports have demonstrated improved abiotic stress tolerance in transgenic plants via the expression of AP2/ERF TFs [ 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 ]. However, to date, no studies have elucidated the roles of AP2/ERF transcription factor members in the Elaeis guineensis genome under abiotic stress.…”

The AP2/ERF transcription factor family members play crucial roles in controlling plant growth and development, as well as responses to various abiotic stresses. Genome-wide identification and characterization of AP2/ERF genes has not yet been carried out in the oil palm genome. In the present work, we reported the occurrence of 172 EgAP2/ERFs (AP2, ERF, RAV & Soloist members) through genome-wide identification. Phylogenetic analysis was used to divide them into four groups, including: 34 AP2, 131 ERF, 5 RAV, and 2 Soloist gene family members. All 172 AP2/ERF members were unevenly distributed across 16 chromosomes of oil palm. Gene duplication analysis elucidated the tandem duplication of AP2/ERFs on chromosome blocks of the oil palm genome during evolution. Gene structure as well as conserved motif analysis demonstrated the conserved nature of intron/exon organization and motifs among the AP2/ERF genes. Several cis-regulatory elements—related to hormone, stress, and defense responses—were identified in the promoter regions of AP2/ERFs. Tissue-specific expression of 172 AP2/ERFs in five different tissues of oil palm was also revealed by heatmap analysis using the available transcriptome data. Finally, abiotic stress (salinity, cold & drought)-responsive AP2/ERFs in the oil palm genome were validated through qPCR analysis. Our study provided valuable information on oil palm AP2/ERF superfamily members and dissected their role in abiotic stress conditions.

“…CAT, POD, and SOD, which have the ability to eliminate reactive oxygen species and protect the membrane, are essential indicators used to evaluate plant redox status. High CAT, POD, and SOD activities suggested high antioxidative ability and high cold resistance in Arabidopsis [ 29 ]. Numerous studies have shown that cold hardiness in various plants is affected by the levels of these antioxidant enzymes [ 51 , 52 , 53 ].…”

“…Ethylene response factors such as VaERF080 and VaERF087 have been validated as cold-responsive factors. Transgenic Arabidopsis overexpression of VaERF080 and VaERF087 showed enhanced cold tolerance via lower malonyldialdehyde (MDA) content and higher superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and catalase (CAT) activities [ 29 ].…”

Ethylene plays an important role in stress adaptation and fruit ripening. Acireductone dioxygenase (ARD) is pivotal for ethylene biosynthesis. However, the response of ARD to fruit ripening or cold stress is still unclear. In this study, we identified three members of Malus ARD family, and expression profile analysis revealed that the transcript level of MdARD4 was induced during apple fruit ripening and after apple plants were being treated with cold stress. To investigate its function in cold tolerance and fruit ripening, MdARD4 was ectopically expressed in Solanum lycopersicum cultivar ‘Micro-Tom’, which has been considered as an excellent model plant for the study of fruit ripening. At the cellular level, the MdARD protein expressed throughout Nicotiana benthamiana epidermal cells. Overexpression of MdARD4 in tomato demonstrated that MdARD4 regulates the ethylene and carotenoid signaling pathway, increases ethylene and carotenoid concentrations, and accelerates fruit ripening. Furthermore, MdARD4 increased the antioxidative ability and cold hardiness in tomato. To conclude, MdARD4 may potentially be used in apple breeding to accelerate fruit ripening and increase cold hardiness.
