Abstract

This entry represents a group of plant AP2/ERF transcription factors, including pathogenesis-related genes transcriptional activator PTI6 [ 1 ] and ethylene-responsive transcription factor ERF [ 2 ]. PTI6 binds to the GCC-box pathogenesis-related promoter element and activates the defense genes of plants [ 3 ].
