WRKY70 — Brassica napus

Summary

BnWRKY70 (DARMORV10_C04P36010.1) on chromosome C04 of oilseed rape encodes a WRKY transcription factor containing the characteristic WRKY DNA-binding domain. The protein localises to both the nucleus and cytoplasm and exhibits sequence-specific DNA binding and transcription cis-regulatory region binding activities. BnWRKY70 is associated with defense response to nematode, positive regulation of salicylic acid mediated signaling pathway, induced systemic resistance, jasmonic acid mediated signaling pathway, floral organ senescence, negative regulation of leaf senescence, negative regulation of response to water deprivation, and regulation of response to osmotic stress. It is also associated with photosynthetic rate, high temperature stress response, leaf senescence trait, salt tolerance, submergence tolerance, plant growth, defense response, immunity, salicylic acid response, jasmonate response, stress response, disease resistance, dehydration stress response, systemic resistance, root elongation, Botrytis resistance, pathogen resistance, plant biomass, cell death, caterpillar resistance, and defense response to herbivory.
