ZNF346 and infection: On the other hand, JAZ inhibits the transcriptional activity of EIL2/EIN3 in the ET signaling pathway and activates downstream ORA59/ERF1 that targets the promoter of PLANT DEFENSIN 1.2 (PDF1.2) and induces its expression, thereby resisting the infection of necrotrophic pathogens and hemibiotrophic pathogens (Zhu et al., 2011).
