Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: AaGSW1
  • Gene Name: glandular trichome–specific WRKY1
  • Genome:
  • Species: Artemisia annua

Functional Descriptions:

  • We found that a trichome-specific transcription factor, AaWRKY9, positively regulates artemisinin biosynthesis by directly binding to the promoters of the artemisinin biosynthesis genes AaDBR2 and AaGSW1.
  • The glandular trichome-specific AaWRKY9 positively regulates artemisinin biosynthesis by directly binding to the promoters of AaDBR2 and AaGSW1.
  • The glandular trichome-specific WRKY TF AaGSW1 directly binds to W-boxes in the promoters of AaCYP71AV1 and AaORA, and positively regulates their expression, in response to JA.
  • These results demonstrate that AaGSW1 is a glandular trichome-specific WRKY transcription factor and a positive regulator in the artemisinin biosynthetic pathway.
  • AaGSW1 can be directly regulated by AaMYC2 and AabZIP1, which are positive regulators of jasmonate (JA)- and abscisic acid (ABA)-mediated artemisinin biosynthetic pathways, respectively.
