WRKY33 — Brassica napus

Summary

BnWRKY33 (DARMORV10_A05P07570.1) on chromosome A05 of oilseed rape encodes a WRKY transcription factor containing the conserved WRKY DNA-binding domain. It is annotated with sequence-specific DNA binding, DNA binding transcription factor activity, transcriptional co-regulator activity, calmodulin binding, protein kinase activity, and metal binding. The gene is associated with diverse biological processes including jasmonic acid and ethylene-dependent systemic resistance, salicylic acid-mediated signaling, camalexin anabolism, cellular thermotolerance, abscisic acid-mediated signaling involved in stomatal movement, and male meiosis cytokinesis. It is linked to traits such as sodium uptake and content, cadmium concentration, aluminum response, leaf senescence, flowering time, seed growth and development, root morphology, and disease tolerance. The protein localizes to the nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria, and cell plate. Related genes in other species are linked to pathogen resistance, camalexin production, salt and drought stress responses, and MAP kinase signaling.
