WRKY3 — Lactuca sativa
Summary
LsWRKY3, a garden lettuce gene on chromosome 4, encodes a WRKY transcription factor with sequence-specific DNA binding and protein homodimerization activity. It is associated with the regulation of defence responses, including antifungal and antibacterial innate immunity, as well as responses to chitin, salicylic acid, and jasmonic acid. The gene is linked to abscisic acid (ABA) anabolism and signalling involved in stomatal movement, positive regulation of leaf senescence, and heat acclimation. It has been connected to plant height, oxidative stress response, ABA sensitivity, and salt tolerance. Related genes in other species are associated with salt stress tolerance, basal immunity, resistance to necrotrophic pathogens, herbivores, and root-knot nematode.
