Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: GhWRKY27
• Gene Name: WRKY transcription factor 27
• Genome: TM1_NBI
• Species: Gossypium hirsutum

Functional Descriptions:

• GhWRKY27, was isolated and characterized. The expression of GhWRKY27 was induced by leaf senescence and was higher in an early-ageing cotton variety than in a non-early-ageing cotton variety.
• Overexpression of GhWRKY27 in Arabidopsis promoted leaf senescence, as determined by reduced chlorophyll content and elevated expression of senescence-associated genes (SAGs).
• The expression of GhRipen2–2 was significantly induced during leaf senescence and activated by GhWRKY27, suggesting its potential roles in leaf senescence and ageing regulatory pathways.
• GhWRKY27 may be a potential ageing-related factor and participate in leaf senescence together with GhTT2, GhCYP94C1 and GhRipen2–2. Our studies provide new mechanistic insight into the roles of WRKY genes during leaf senescence in cotton.
