Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: FcWRKY70
  • Gene Name: WRKY transcription factor 70
  • Genome:
  • Species: Fortunella crassifolia

Functional Descriptions:

  • FcWRKY70, a WRKY protein of Fortunella crassifolia, functions in drought tolerance and modulates putrescine synthesis by regulating arginine decarboxylase gene.
  • FcWRKY70 was greatly induced by drought and abscisic acid, but slightly or negligibly by salt and cold.
  • Overexpression of FcWRKY70 in tobacco (Nicotiana nudicaulis) and lemon (Citrus lemon) conferred enhanced tolerance to dehydration and drought stresses.
  • Knock-down of FcWRKY70 in kumquat down-regulated ADC abundance and decreased putrescine level, accompanied by compromised dehydration tolerance.
  • Taken together, our data demonstrated that FcWRKY70 functions in drought tolerance by, at least partly, promoting production of putrescine via regulating ADC expression.
