Gene Details:

• Gene ID: MDP0000177906
• Gene Symbol: MdWRKY40
• Gene Name: WRKY transcription factor 40
• Genome: Golden ASM211411v1
• Species: Malus domestica

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.
• MdWRKY40 promotes wounding-induced anthocyanin biosynthesis in association with MdMYB1 and undergoes MdBT2-mediated degradation.
• MdWRKY40 is a key modulator in the wounding-induced anthocyanin biosynthesis, which provides new insights into the regulation of wounding-induced anthocyanin biosynthesis at both the transcriptional and post-translational levels in apple.
