  abstract = {{S}everal ethylene-response factor ({ERF}) transcription factors are believed to play a crucial role in the activation of plant defence responses, but little is known about the relationships between the diversity of this family and the functions of groups or individual {ERF}s in this process. {I}n this study, 200 {ERF} genes from the unigene cotton database were identified. {C}onserved amino acid residues and phylogeny reconstruction using the {AP}2 conserved domain suggest that the classification into 10 major groups used for {A}rabidopsis and rice is applicable to the cotton {ERF} family. {B}ased on in silico studies, we predict that group {IX} {ERF} genes in cotton are involved in jasmonate ({JA}), ethylene ({ET}) and pathogen responses. {T}o test this hypothesis, we analysed the transcript profiles of the group {IX}a subfamily in the regulation of specific resistance to {X}anthomonas campestris pathovar malvacearum. {T}he expression of four members of group {IX}a was induced on challenge with {X}. campestris pv. malvacearum. {F}urthermore, the expression of several {ERF} genes of group {IX}a was induced synergistically by {JA} in combination with {ET}, suggesting that the encoded {ERF} proteins may play key roles in the integration of both signals to activate {JA}- and {ET}-dependent responses.},
