A model of CsPRMT5 regulation of CsMAPK3 expression represses resistance to gray blight in tea plant. CsPRMT5 binds to defense-related genes, including CsMAPK3, and regulates their expression through H4R3sme2 modification. Under normal growth conditions, CsPRMT5 associates with CsMAPK3 to mediate its H4R3sme2, inhibiting the expression of CsMAPK3. After infection by the gray blight pathogen (Ps), the expression of CsPRMT5 is suppressed, leading to less CsPRMT5 association with chromatin and a decline in H4R3sme2 levels, thereby releasing the transcriptional suppression of pathogen-induced CsMAPK3 and enhancing plant resistance..
