ZAP1 — Capsicum annuum
Summary
CaZAP1 (also known as WRKY49, CaWRKY20, or WRKY1) on pepper chromosome 9 encodes a WRKY-domain transcription factor that binds DNA and metal ions, localizes to the nucleus and mitochondria, and can homodimerize. It is associated with abscisic-acid-mediated stomatal movement, gibberellin metabolism, salicylic acid signaling, leaf senescence, and responses to bacteria, fungi, chitin, and viruses. The gene has been linked to drought tolerance, salt tolerance, disease resistance, flowering time, nitrogen remobilization, alkaloid production, and monocarpic senescence. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to salicylic acid signaling, transcriptional regulation, defense, early and late blight resistance, and resistance to Phytophthora infestans.
