| Zusammenfassung: | Copyright © 2024 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. Ethylene response factor (ERF) is a class of plant-specific transcription factors that play an important role in plant growth, development, and stress response. However, the underlying mechanism of strawberry ERFs in pathogenic responses against Botrytis cinerea (B. cinerea) remains largely unclear. In this study, we isolated FaERF2, a nucleus-localized ERF transcription factor from Fragaria x ananassa. Transiently overexpressing FaERF2 in strawberry fruits significantly enhances their resistant ability to B. cinerea, while silencing FaERF2 in strawberry fruits enhances their susceptibility to B. cinerea. In addition, we found that FaERF2 could directly bind to the cis-acting element GCC box in the promoters of two β-1,3-glucanase genes, FaBG-1 and FaBG-2, and activate their expression. Finally, both strawberry fruits transient expression followed by B. cinerea inoculation assays and recombinant protein incubation tests collectively substantiated the inhibitory effect of FaBG-1 and FaBG-2 on B. cinerea mycelium growth. These results revealed the molecular regulation mechanism of FaERF2 in response to B. cinerea and laid foundations for creating disease-resistance strawberry cultivar through genome editing approach |
