Gene Details:
- Gene ID: FvH4_6g53770.1
- Gene Symbol: FvWRKY48
- Gene Name: WRKY transcription factor 48
- Genome: Fragaria vesca Whole Genome v4.0.a2
- Species: Fragaria vesca
Functional Description:
- FvWRKY48 binds to the pectate lyase FvPLA promoter to control fruit softening in Fragaria vesca.
- We showed that FvWRKY48 is localized to the nucleus and that degradation of the pectin cell wall polymer homogalacturonan, which is present in the middle lamella and tricellular junction zones of the fruit, was greater in FvWRKY48-OE (overexpressing) fruits than in empty vector (EV)-transformed fruits and less substantial in FvWRKY48-RNAi (RNA interference) fruits.
- We investigated the potential role of one of these genes, FvWRKY48, in regulating the expression of a PL gene (PLA) and PL activity in association with fruit softening.
- FvWRKY48 maybe increase the expression of FvPLA, resulting in pectin degradation and fruit softening.
