Gene Details:

• Gene ID: MDP0000263768
• Gene Symbol: MdWRKY75e
• Gene Name:
• Genome: Golden ASM211411v1
• Species: Malus domestica

Functional Descriptions:

• MdWRKY75e enhances resistance to Alternaria alternata in Malus domestica.
• Discovered that overexpression of MdWRKY75e increased the resistance of transgenic apple lines to A. alternata infection, whereas silencing this gene enhanced susceptibility to A. alternata infection.
• MdWRKY75e directly binds to the MdLAC7 promoter to regulate the biosynthesis of laccase and increase the biosynthesis of lignin during A. alternata infection.
• These results indicate that MdWRKY75e confers resistance to the A. alternata apple pathotype mainly via the jasmonic acid pathway and that pathogenesis-related genes and antioxidant-related enzyme activity are involved in the disease resistance of MdWRKY75e transgenic plants.
