Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: SaWRKY1
  • Gene Name: WRKY transcription factor 1
  • Genome: Tomato Genome version SL4.0
  • Species: Solanum lycopersicum

Functional Descriptions:

  • SaWRKY1 exhibited induced expression with significant modulation in xyloglucan endotrans hydrolase 5 (XTH5) and MYB2 expressions that correlated with the disease phenotypes.
  • WRKY1 overexpressing transgenic plants exhibited higher levels of EB resistance while RNAi silencing lines had increased susceptibility to A. solani with altered expression of XTH5 and MYB2.
  • WRKY1 acts as a key component improving resistance against Alternaria solani in wild tomato, Solanum arcanum Peralta.
  • These findings demonstrate the positive influence of WRKY1 in improving EB resistance in wild tomato and this could be further utilized as a potential target through genetic engineering to augment protection against A. solani in crop plants.
