Trichoderma-Induced Ethylene Responsive Factor MsERF105 Mediates Defense Responses in Malus sieversii.

ABSTRACT: Trichoderma can induce plant hormone signal pathways mediating plant defenses, resulting in broad-spectrum resistance to phytopathogens. Herein, Malus sieversii seedlings were treated with Trichoderma biofertilizer and/or Alternaria alternata f. sp. mali, and transcriptome analysis revealed significant differential expression. There was a high similarity between the transcriptome expression profiles of Trichoderma-induced and A. alternata-infected M. sieversii samples for genes related to jasmonic acid (JA), ethylene, and salicylic acid (SA) signaling pathways. Additionally, Trichoderma biofertilizer activated numerous disease-resistant genes (ERF, NAC, bHLH, and STK) and defense response genes (D
