“…ERF transcription factors have been identified in numerous plant species, including Arabidopsis thaliana (Liu et al, 1998; Nakano et al, 2006; Son et al, 2012), rice (Cao et al, 2006; Zhang et al, 2013), wheat (Xu et al, 2007), cotton (Huang et al, 2007; Jin and Liu, 2008), tomato (Sharma et al, 2010), cucumber (Hu and Liu, 2011), tobacco (Fischer and Droge-Laser, 2004), Chinese wild grapevine (Zhu et al, 2013), and peanut (Wan et al, 2014), among others. To our knowledge, only six members of the ERF subfamily have been functionally characterized in soybean (Mazarei et al, 2002; Zhang et al, 2008, 2009; Zhang G.Y.…”

“…The phytohormones ET, JA, SA, and ABA are important for the regulation of defense responses in plants (Zhou et al, 1997; Pieterse et al, 2009; Seo et al, 2011; Zhu et al, 2013). Plant stress-tolerance is regulated through a network of signal transduction pathways, some of which may converge on ERF proteins through complex interactions (Zhang et al, 2004; Rehman and Mahmood, 2015).…”

“…For example, constitutive expression of the AtERF1 gene elevates expression of pathogen-inducible plant defensin ( PDF1.2 ), conferring resistance to necrotrophic fungi (Berrocallobo et al, 2002; Lorenzo et al, 2003); NtERF5 and TiERF1 enhance resistance to TMV (Fischer and Droge-Laser, 2004; Liang et al, 2008); and AtERF5 and BrERF11 increase resistance to bacteria and fungi, respectively (Son et al, 2012; Lai et al, 2013). In contrast, the transcription repressors AtERF3/4 decrease disease resistance (Fujimoto et al, 2000; Yang et al, 2005), and VpERF1 can increase susceptibility to both bacterial and fungal pathogens (Zhu et al, 2013). …”

Phytophthora root and stem rot of soybean caused by the oomycete Phytophthora sojae, is a destructive disease worldwide. Ethylene response factors (ERFs) play important roles in regulating plant biotic and abiotic stress tolerance. In this study, a new ERF gene, GmERF113, was isolated from the highly resistant soybean ‘Suinong 10.’ Sequence analysis suggested that the protein encoded by GmERF113 contained a conserved AP2/ERF domain of 58 amino acid and belonged to the B-4 subgroup of the ERF subfamily. Expression of GmERF113 was significantly induced by P. sojae, ethylene, and methyl jasmonate. GmERF113 protein localized to the nucleus when transiently expressed in Arabidopsis protoplasts, could bind to the GCC-box, and acted as a transcription activator. In addition, a region of the full-length GmERF113, GmERF113-II, interacted with a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor (GmbHLH) in yeast cells. Full-length GmERF113 also interacted with GmbHLH in planta. GmERF113-overexpressing transgenic plants in susceptible cultivar ‘Dongnong 50’ soybean exhibited increased resistance to P. sojae and positively regulated the expression of the pathogenesis-related genes, PR1 and PR10-1. These results indicate that GmERF113 may play a crucial role in the defense of soybean against P. sojae infection.

“…For example, a recent study of Arabidopsis ERFVIIs found that the constitutively expressed group members also regulate responses to oxidative and osmotic stresses, which are both also associated with submergence (Papdi et al, 2015). ERF-VII genes are up-regulated in response to phytohormones and stresses, including ethylene, ABA, sodium chloride, salicylic acid, cold and heat, drought, and osmotic stress (Yi et al, 2004;Jung et al, 2007;Xu et al, 2007;Zhang et al, 2009Zhang et al, , 2010Park et al, 2011;Chen et al, 2012;Zhu et al, 2013;Yang et al, 2014). Pathogen infection was shown to increase expression of RAP2.2 in Arabidopsis in response to Botrytis cinerea (Zhao et al, 2012), BENZOTHIADIAZOLE (bth)-INDUCED ERF1 (OsBIERF1) and OsBIERF4 in rice in response to Magnaporthe grisea (Cao et al, 2006), PATHOGEN FREEZING TOLERANCE PROTEIN1 (CaPF1) in Capsicum annuum in response to Xanthomonas axonopodis (Yi et al, 2004), GmERF3 in soybean (Glycine max) in response to soybean mosaic virus , and wheat (Triticum aestivum) TaERF1 in response to infection with Blumeria graminis (Xu et al, 2007).…”

Group VII Ethylene Response Factors Coordinate Oxygen and Nitric Oxide Signal Transduction and Stress Responses in Plants

et al. 2015

The group VII ethylene response factors (ERFVIIs) are plant-specific transcription factors that have emerged as important regulators of abiotic and biotic stress responses, in particular, low-oxygen stress. A defining feature of ERFVIIs is their conserved N-terminal domain, which renders them oxygen-and nitric oxide (NO)-dependent substrates of the N-end rule pathway of targeted proteolysis. In the presence of these gases, ERFVIIs are destabilized, whereas an absence of either permits their accumulation; ERFVIIs therefore coordinate plant homeostatic responses to oxygen availability and control a wide range of NO-mediated processes. ERFVIIs have a variety of context-specific protein and gene interaction partners, and also modulate gibberellin and abscisic acid signaling to regulate diverse developmental processes and stress responses. This update discusses recent advances in our understanding of ERFVII regulation and function, highlighting their role as central regulators of gaseous signal transduction at the interface of ethylene, oxygen, and NO signaling.

“…Some candidate genes have been tested for their ability to enhance resistance of susceptible grapevines to fungal pathogens using transient expression assays (Guan et al ., ; He et al ., ; Xu et al ., ). In addition, overexpression of other defence‐related genes identified in this accession, such as VpEIRP1 (Yu et al ., ) and VpERF‐2 and ‐3 (Zhu et al ., ), improved the defence response of susceptible genotypes of V. pseudoreticulata and other genetically distant plant species including tobacco and Arabidopsis . These results could be applied to grapevine genetic improvement.…”

SummaryIn the past few years, the usefulness of transient expression assays has continuously increased for the characterization of unknown gene function and metabolic pathways. In grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.), one of the most economically important fruit crops in the world, recent systematic sequencing projects produced many gene data sets that require detailed analysis. Due to their rapid nature, transient expression assays are well suited for large-scale genetic studies. Although genes and metabolic pathways of any species can be analysed by transient expression in model plants, a need for homologous systems has emerged to avoid the misinterpretation of results due to a foreign genetic background. Over the last 10 years, various protocols have thus been developed to apply this powerful technology to grapevine. Using cell suspension cultures, somatic embryos, leaves or whole plantlets, transient expression assays enabled the study of the function, regulation and subcellular localization of genes involved in specific metabolic pathways such as the biosynthesis of phenylpropanoids. Disease resistance genes that could be used for marker-assisted selection in conventional breeding or for stable transformation of elite cultivars have also been characterized. Additionally, transient expression assays have proved useful for shaping new tools for grapevine genetic improvement: synthetic promoters, silencing constructs, minimal linear cassettes or viral vectors. This review provides an update on the different tools (DNA constructs, reporter genes, vectors) and methods (Agrobacteriummediated and direct gene transfer methods) available for transient gene expression in grapevine. The most representative results published thus far are then described.
