WRKY70 — Brassica napus

Summary

BnWRKY70 (DARMORV10_A04P03340.1) on chromosome A04 encodes a WRKY transcription factor with sequence-specific DNA-binding activity and promoter-specific chromatin binding. It is associated with defense response to nematode, regulation of defense response to insect, and inhibition of defense response to bacteria, as well as regulation of salicylic acid-mediated signaling pathway, induced systemic resistance, jasmonic acid mediated signaling pathway, and positive regulation of salicylic acid mediated signaling pathway. The gene is linked to floral organ senescence, negative regulation of leaf senescence, regulation of response to osmotic stress, negative regulation of response to water deprivation, and submergence tolerance. Associations with photosynthetic rate, high temperature stress response, salt tolerance, plant growth, plant biomass, root elongation, and cell death regulation have been observed. It is also connected to glucosinolate anabolism, camalexin anabolism, regulation of brassinosteroid mediated signalling, regulation of ethene mediated signaling pathway, and nuclear import. The protein localizes to both the cytoplasm and nucleus.
