Overexpression of NtERF5, belonging to the ethylene response factor gene family, inhibits potato virus X infection and enhances expression of jasmonic acid/ethylene signaling marker genes in tobacco
Transcription factors belonging to the family of ethylene response factors (ERFs) in plants function in disease resistance to pathogens. One of the tobacco ERF genes, NtERF5, inhibits the accumulation of tobacco ...

Open AccessOverexpression of tobacco ethylene response factor NtERF3 gene and its homologues from tobacco and rice induces hypersensitive response-like cell death in tobacco
Among plant-specific transcription factors, ethylene response factors (ERFs) comprise one of the largest families. ERFs are unique to the plant kingdom and are considered to have crucial roles in plant response t...
