Gene Details:

Functional Descriptions:

  • Characterization of LuWRKY36, a flax transcription factor promoting secoisolariciresinol biosynthesis in response to Fusarium oxysporum elicitors in Linum usitatissimum L. hairy roots.
  • LuWRKY36 trans-activates LuPLR1 gene promoter activity and its constitutive expression results in an increase of lignan accumulation.
  • The presence of phosphorylation sites in LuWRKY36 suggests that phosphorylation events could be part of the signaling pathway as observed for other WRKY proteins.
  • Our results propose that the positive regulator action of LuWRKY36 on the LuPLR1 gene regulation and lignan biosynthesis in response to biotic stress is positively mediated by abscisic acid and inhibited by ethylene.
