Gene Details:

Functional Descriptions:

  • MdWRKY40 and MdbZIP44 were identified as positive regulators of leaf senescence.
  • We also identified two positive regulators of leaf senescence, MdWRKY40 and MdbZIP44, which directly interacted with MdABI5 and promoted MdABI5-mediated leaf senescence by enhancing the transcriptional activity of MdABI5 on MdNYE1 and MdNYC1.
  • MdbZIP44 and MdWRKY40 promote leaf senescence by enhancing the transcriptional activity of MdABI5.
  • Apple bZIP transcription factor MdbZIP44 regulates abscisic acid-promoted anthocyanin accumulation.
  • MdbZIP44, an ABA-induced bZIP TF in apple, and characterized its function to participate in ABA-modulated anthocyanin biosynthesis. Further study revealed that MdbZIP44 interacted with MdMYB1 and enhanced the binding of MdMYB1 to its downstream genes.
  • In addition, MdBT2, an MdbZIP44-interacting protein, accelerated the protein degradation of MdbZIP44 through the 26S proteasome pathway.
