Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: FcWRKY40
• Gene Name: WRKY transcription factor 40
• Genome:
• Species: Citrus japonic

Functional Descriptions:

• The transcription factor FcWRKY40 of Fortunella crassifolia functions positively in salt tolerance through modulation of ion homeostasis and proline biosynthesis by directly regulating SOS2 and P5CS1 homologs.
• Herein, we elucidated function of FcWRKY40 from Fortunella crassifolia in salt tolerance via overexpression and virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) and unraveled its target genes.
• Overexpression of FcWRKY40 enhanced salt tolerance in transgenic tobacco and lemon, while silencing of FcWRKY40 increased salt susceptibility.
• FcWRKY40 participates in the ABA signaling pathway and as a positive regulator functions in salt tolerance by regulating genes involved in ion homeostasis and proline biosynthesis.
