Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Solyc03g095770
• Gene Symbol: SlWRKY70
• Gene Name: WRKY DNA-binding transcription factor 70
• Genome: Tomato Genome version SL4.0
• Species: Solanum lycopersicum

Functional Descriptions:

• SlWRKY70 is required for Mi-1-mediated resistance to aphids and nematodes in tomato.
• Silencing SlWRKY70 attenuated Mi-1-mediated resistance against both potato aphid and RKN showing that SlWRKY70 is required for Mi-1 function.
• Furthermore, we found SlWRKY70 transcripts to be inducible in response to aphid infestation and RKN inoculation. Mi-1-mediated recognition of these pests modulates this transcriptional response.
• We found SlWRKY70 transcript levels to be up-regulated by salicylic acid and suppressed by methyl jasmonate. This indicates that some aspects of WRKY70 regulation are conserved among distantly related eudicots.
