Functional Descriptions:

  • FvWRKY50 is an important gene that regulates both vegetative growth and reproductive growth in strawberry.
  • identified a WRKY transcription factor, FvWRKY50, in diploid strawberry which played essential roles in strawberry vegetative growth, and reproductive growth.
  • Knocking out FvWRKY50 by genome editing accelerated flowering time and leaf senescence but delayed anthocyanin accumulation in fruit.
  • FvWRKY50 directly upregulated the expression of FvCHI and FvDFR by binding their promoter under normal conditions, but at low temperature FvWRKY50 was phosphorylated by FvMAPK3 and then induced protein degradation by ubiquitination, delaying anthocyanin accumulation.
  • The homozygous mutant of FvWRKY50 was smaller while the biallelic mutant showed normal size. These new findings provide important clues for us to further reveal the regulatory mechanisms of strawberry growth and fruit ripening
