Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Solyc07g005650
• Gene Symbol: WRKY32
• Gene Name: WRKY transcription factor 32
• Genome: Tomato Genome version SL4.0
• Species: Solanum lycopersicum

Functional Descriptions:

• The transcription factor WRKY32 affects tomato fruit colour by regulating YELLOW FRUITED-TOMATO 1, a core component of ethylene signal transduction.
• Based on bioinformatic analysis, yeast one hybrid assays and electrophoretic mobility shift assays, we report that transcription factor WRKY32 regulates tomato fruit colour formation.
• In tomato fruits of WRKY32-RNAi generated lines, ethylene signalling was reduced, leading to a suppression in ethylene emission, a delay in chromoplast development, decreased carotenoid accumulation, and a yellow fruit phenotype.
• Describe the characterization of WRKY32, a member of the WRKY TF family, and the mechanism by which it affects ripening and fruit colour formation through its interaction with the YFT1 promoter.
