ZAP1 — Solanum tuberosum

Summary

StZAP1 (also known as StWRKY1, WRKY49, or WRKY20) on potato chromosome 7 encodes a WRKY transcription factor with DNA-binding, metal-binding, and protein homodimerization activity. It is associated with late blight resistance, cell wall thickening, wound healing, lignin anabolism, and salicylic acid-mediated signaling. The gene is linked to positive regulation of leaf senescence, abscisic acid and gibberellic acid signaling, and responses to chitin, fungi, bacteria, jasmonic acid, and salicylate. It localizes to the nucleus and mitochondria. Associations also include drought stress response, salt tolerance, stomatal movement, nitrogen remobilization, alkaloid production, flowering time, and lignin content. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to pathogen defense, early blight resistance, and drought resistance.
