Gene Details:

  • Gene ID: CA00g87690
  • Gene Symbol: CaWRKY40
  • Gene Name: WRKY family transcription factor44
  • Genome:
  • Species: Capsicum annuum

Functional Description:

  • A conserved double-W box in the promoter of CaWRKY40 mediates autoregulation during response to pathogen attack and heat stress in pepper.
  • CaWRKY40 promoter responses to pathogen infection and heat shock stress.
  • DWE is necessary for the inducible expression of CaWRKY40 and its role as a positive regulator in pepper’s response to R. solanacearum attack and HS.
  • CaC3H14 encoding a tandem CCCH zinc finger protein is directly targeted by CaWRKY40 and positively regulates the response of pepper to inoculation by Ralstonia solanacearum.
  • CaWRKY40, a WRKY protein of pepper, plays an important role in the regulation of tolerance to heat stress and resistance to Ralstonia solanacearum infection.
  • Collectively, our results suggest that CaWRKY40 orthologs are regulated by SA, JA and ET signalling and coordinate responses to R. solanacearum attacks and heat stress in pepper and tobacco.
