Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: GhWRKY70
• Gene Name: Gossypium hirsutum cultivar Zhongzhimian 2 WRKY transcription factor 70
• Genome: TM1_NBI
• Species: Gossypium hirsutum

Functional Descriptions:

• The cotton WRKY transcription factor GhWRKY70 negatively regulates the defense response against Verticillium dahliae.
• GhWRKY70 negatively regulates tolerance to V. dahliae in at least two ways: (i) by upregulating the expression of SA-associated genes and (ii) by reducing the expression of JA-associated genes.
• Silencing of GhWRKY70 in cotton increases tolerance to V. dahliae infection.
• Silencing of GhWRKY70 in cotton activates the JA-associated genes and suppresses SA-associated genes.
• Overexpression of GhWRKY70 increases susceptibility to V. dahliae in transgenic Arabidopsis plants.
• SA-associated genes are upregulated and JA-associated genes are downregulated in GhWRKY70-overexpressing Arabidopsis.
