Fig 7. Model for role of OsEREBP1 in biotic and abiotic stress responses.

Fig 7

Increased expression of OsEREBP1 results in accumulation of jasmonates and ABA and induction of specific subsets of defense genes leading to biotic and abiotic stress tolerance. JA regulates transcription factor RERJ1 and induces expression of JA-responsive genes resulting in increased tolerance to pathogen infection and drought stress. A cross talk between ABA and JA signalling mediated by OsHLH148/OsJaz1 interaction results in upregulation of transcripts encoding ERF’s such as AP59 associated with drought acclimation. ABA independently enhances recovery from submergence and provides protection against drought during desubmergence by inducing expression of Lea5 and CatB genes.
