Our study revealed that csn-miR393a targets auxin receptor gene CsAFB2 during resistance to C. gloeosporioides in tea plants by comparing the resistant cultivar Zhongcha108 to the susceptible cultivar Longjing43. Through Nicotiana benthamiana leaf co-transformation assays, we demonstrated that csn-miR393a suppresses the expression of CsAFB2, and csn-miR393a target mimic blocks the function of csn-miR393a, leading to increase in the expression of CsAFB2. Repression of transcripts in tea leaves by antisense oligonucleotides demonstrated that csn-miR393a negatively affects the tea plant defence by regulating reactive oxygen species homoeostasis, PR gene expression and catechin accumulation. To further validate the regulatory mechanisms of csn-miR393a, we developed transgenic tea plants overexpressing CsAFB2, resulting in enhanced resistance responses against C. gloeosporioides. Additionally, transgenic N. benthamiana lines overexpressing a csn-miR393a target mimic provided further evidence that csn-miR393a negatively regulates the tea plant defence response against C. gloeosporioides by suppressing CsAFB2.

Here, we describe the role of a secretory protein named VdSAP (secretory aspartyl protease) from the defoliating V. dahliae strain XJ592 in virulence and defoliation. Deletion of VdSAP in strain XJ592 led to significantly reduced virulence and cotton plant defoliation. VdSAP functioned as a protease that targeted cotton plant GhARP (auxin-repressed protein), and VdSAP negatively regulated GhARP content in plants. Transient expression of GhARP in Nicotiana benthamiana enhanced the expression of plant defence signals and inhibited plant abscission signals. Furthermore, GhARP negatively regulated the ethylene (ET) signal and positively regulated the salicylic acid (SA) signal. In addition, GhARP interacted with 1-aminocyclopropane carboxylate oxidases (GhACOs), suggesting that it might function through the ET signal during V. dahliae-cotton plant interactions.

This degradation is triggered by the coat protein (CP) sequence and can be mitigated by the trans-expression of the 1a replicase or CP.

Importantly, compromising NMD reduces CMV infection during the early stages, suggesting that NMD-mediated RNA3 degradation facilitates initial viral replication.
