Gene Details:

• Gene ID: MD15G1039500
• Gene Symbol: MdWRKY40
• Gene Name:
• Genome: Golden ASM211411v1
• Species: Malus domestica

Functional Descriptions:

• Involvement of MdWRKY40 in the defense of mycorrhizal apple against fusarium solani.
• The overexpressed transcription factor MdWRKY40 significantly improved the resistance of the apple ‘Orin’ callus to F. solani and the expression of the resistance gene MdGLU by binding the promoter of MdGLU.
• In addition, MdWRKY40 played an important role in the resistance of mycorrhizal apple seedlings to infection with F. solani.
• The levels of expression of MdGLU in OE-MdWRKY40 were significantly higher than the levels in wild type (WT) in all the resistance genes tested (P < 0.01). This suggests that MdWRKY40 could improve the resistance of callus to F. solani by regulating the expression of MdGLU.
