    Abstract:
    MeRAVs positively regulate ROS burst and the expression of downstream disease resistance-related genes, which underlie improved disease resistance to Xam. Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is an important food crop and energy crop, but its yield is seriously affected by cassava bacterial blight (CBB) caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis (Xam). Related to ABI3/VP1 (RAV) transcription factor family belongs to the APETALA2/Ethylene-Responsive Factor (AP2/ERF) family, which plays an important role in plant growth, development and response to biotic and abiotic stresses. In this study, we found that MeRAVs positively co-regulates the resistance to Xam and stimulates the innate immune response by regulating reactive oxygen species (ROS) burst in cassava. Dual-luciferase assay showed that seven MeRAVs exhibited transcriptional activate activity by binding CAACA motif and CACCTG motif. A large number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified through RNA-seq analysis of MeRAVs-silenced lines, and the DEGs co-regulated by seven MeRAVs accounted for more than 45% of the total DEGs. In addition, seven MeRAVs positively regulate expression of disease resistance-related genes through directly binding to their promoters. In summary, MeRAVs co-regulate ROS burst and the expression of downstream disease resistance-related genes, which underlie improved disease resistance to Xam.
