Gene Details:

Functional Descriptions:

  • The MdMEK2–MdMPK6–MdWRKY17 pathway stabilizes chlorophyll levels by directly regulating MdSUFB in apple under drought stress.
  • The activated MdMEK2–MdMPK6 cascade by water-deficit stress fine-tunes the MdWRKY17–MdSUFB pathway by phosphorylating MdWRKY17 under water-deficit stress.
  • The phosphorylation by MdMEK2–MdMPK6 activates the MdWRKY17–MdSUFB pathway at S66 (identified by LC-MS), as demonstrated by in vitro and in vivo experiments.
  • Our findings reveal that the MdMEK2–MdMPK6–MdWRKY17–MdSUFB pathway stabilizes chlorophyll levels under moderate drought stress, which could facilitate the breeding of apple varieties that maintain high yields under drought stress.
