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.
