Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Glyma.15G003300
• Gene Symbol: GmWRKY27
• Gene Name: WRKY transcription factor 27
• Genome: Wm82.a4.v1
• Species: Glycine max

Functional Descriptions:

• GmWRKY27 interacts with GmMYB174 to reduce expression of GmNAC29 for stress tolerance in soybean plants.
• GmWRKY27, in abiotic stress tolerance using a transgenic hairy root assay. GmWRKY27 expression was increased by various abiotic stresses.
• Over-expression and RNAi analysis demonstrated that GmWRKY27 improves salt and drought tolerance in transgenic soybean hairy roots. Measurement of physiological parameters, including reactive oxygen species and proline contents, supported this conclusion.
• GmWRKY27 interacts with GmMYB174, which also suppresses GmNAC29 expression and enhances drought stress tolerance. The GmWRKY27 and GmMYB174 may have evolved to bind to neighbouring cis elements in the GmNAC29 promoter to co-reduce promoter activity and gene expression.
• GmWRKY27 improves salt and drought stress tolerance in transgenic soybean hairy roots.
