Gene Details:
- Gene ID: Bra016428
- Gene Symbol: BrWAK1
- Gene Name:
- Genome: B. rapa reference genome (v1.5)
- Species: Brassica rapa
Functional Descriptions:
- BrWAK1is the first identified andthoroughly characterizedWAKgene conferring disease resistance in Chinese cabbage
- Wall-associated kinase BrWAK1 confers resistance to downy mildew in Brassica rapa.
- BrWAK1 was proved to interact with BrBAK1 (brassinosteroid insensitive 1 associated kinase), resulting in the activation of the downstream mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade to trigger the defence response.
- BrWAK1 is the first identified and thoroughly characterized WAK gene conferring disease resistance in Chinese cabbage, and the plant biomass is not significantly influenced by BrWAK1, which will greatly accelerate Chinese cabbage breeding for downy mildew resistance.
