Gene Details:

• Gene ID: MD12G1190700
• Gene Symbol: MdMRLK2
• Gene Name: Malus domestica FERONIA receptor-like kinase 2
• Genome: Golden ASM211411v1
• Species: Malus domestica

Functional Descriptions:

• MdBT2, a homolog of AtBT2, has been shown to function as a signal hub to regulate anthocyanin biosynthesis, leaf senescence, iron homeostasis, and malate accumulation in response to multiple hormonal and environmental signals.
• MdBT2 functions to delay leaf senescence by interacting with and promoting the ubiquitination and degradation of MdbHLH93 (basic helix-loop-helix93) and MdMYC2 (myelocytomatosis protein2) in apple.
• MdMRLK2 overexpression also suppressed polyphenol accumulation and inhibited the activities of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), β-1,3-glucanase (GLU), and chitinase (CHT) during V. mali infection.
• Apple plants overexpressing MdMRLK2 (35S:MdMRLK2) showed enhanced cold resistance relative to the wild type.
