Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: NaMEK2
• Gene Name: mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 2
• Genome:
• Species: Nicotiana attenuata

Functional Descriptions:

• Two mitogen-activated protein kinase kinases, MKK1 and MEK2, are involved in wounding- and specialist lepidopteran herbivore Manduca sexta-induced responses in Nicotiana attenuata.
• NaMEK2 and certain other MAPKKs, but not NaMKK1, are needed for wounding- and simulated herbivory-elicited accumulation of jasmonic acid (JA), JA–isoleucine, and ethylene.
• Both NaMEK2 and NaMKK1 regulate the levels of trypsin proteinase inhibitors.
• NaMEK2, but not NaMKK1, is required for the phosphorylation of NaSIPK and NaWIPK after simulated herbivory.
• NaMEK2 but not NaMKK1 regulates wounding- and herbivory-induced accumulation of phytohormones in N. attenuata.
