Gene Details:

• Gene ID: HORVU.MOREX.r2.6HG0479430
• Gene Symbol: HvWIN1
• Gene Name: WAX INDUCER1
• Genome: MorexV3_pseudomolecules_assembly
• Species: Hordeum vulgare

Functional Descriptions:

• WAX INDUCER1 (HvWIN1) transcription factor regulates free fatty acid biosynthetic genes to reinforce cuticle to resist Fusarium head blight in barley spikelets.
• Knockdown of HvWIN1 by virus-induced genes silencing (VIGS) in resistant genotype upon pathogen inoculation increased the disease severity and fungal biomass, and decreased the abundance of FFAs like linoleic and palmitic acids.
• The expression of CYP86A2, CYP89A2 and LAC2 genes was also suppressed, proving the link of HvWIN1 in regulating these genes in cuticle biosynthesis as a defense response.
• Differential transcript expression of HvWIN1: a potential transcriptional regulator of cuticle biosynthetic genes in barley.
