Gene Details:
- Gene ID:
- Gene Symbol: CaAGL8
- Gene Name: Agamous-like MADS-box protein AGL8-like protein
- Genome:
- Species: Capsicum annuum
Functional Descriptions:
- MADS-box protein AGL8 interacts with chromatin-remodelling component SWC4 to activate thermotolerance and environment-dependent immunity in pepper.
- The MADS-box transcription factor CaAGL8 was up-regulated by HTHH stress and RSRT or RSHT, and its silencing significantly reduced pepper thermotolerance and susceptibility to infection under both room and high temperature-high humidity (RSRT and RSHT).
- Overexpression of CaAGL8 significantly increased the resistance of Nicotiana benthamiana plants to RSRT, RSHT, and HTHH.
- Silencing of either CaAGL8 or CaSWC4 blocked the hypersensitive response (HR) cell death and context-dependent up-regulation of defence-related genes triggered by the other.
- Our results indicate that pepper employs CaAGL8 to modulate chromatin remodelling by interacting with CaSWC4, thereby activating defence responses to RSRT, RSHT, and HTHH.
