WRKY3 — Nicotiana attenuata

Summary

A4A49_23002, designated WRKY3 in coyote tobacco (Nicotiana attenuata) on chromosome scaffold02489, encodes a WRKY transcription factor with sequence-specific DNA-binding and protein-homodimerization activity. It is associated with brown spot disease resistance, disease resistance, phytoalexin biosynthesis, abscisic acid mediated signalling involved in stomatal movement, positive regulation of leaf senescence, and the MAPK cascade. The gene is linked to herbivore resistance, resistance to necrotrophic pathogens, and susceptibility to biotrophic pathogens. It has been connected to oxidative stress response, abscisic acid sensitivity, salt tolerance, and plant growth and development traits. Related genes in other species link the family to salt stress tolerance, methyl jasmonate stress tolerance, and basal immunity, while tomato WRKY3 has been associated with resistance to root-knot nematode.
