Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Aannua01956S266050
• Gene Symbol: AaWRKY17
• Gene Name:
• Genome:
• Species: Artemisia annua

Functional Descriptions:

• AaWRKY17, a positive regulator of artemisinin biosynthesis, is involved in resistance to Pseudomonas syringae in Artemisia annua.
• Identified the WRKY transcription factor (TF) AaWRKY17, which could significantly increase the artemisinin content and resistance to Pseudomonas syringae in A. annua.
• Overexpression of AaWRKY17 in A. annua resulted in decreased susceptibility to P. syringae.
• These results indicated that AaWRKY17 acted as a positive regulator in response to P. syringae infection. Together, our findings demonstrated that the novel WRKY transcription factor AaWRKY17 could potentially be used in transgenic breeding to improve the content of artemisinin and pathogen tolerance in A. annua.
