Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: TaWRKY70
• Gene Name: WRKY transcription factor 70
• Genome:
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• There is no direct evidence as to whether WRKY transcription factors play a role in HTSP resistance to Pst. We isolated a WRKY gene, named TaWRKY70, from wheat cultivar Xiaoyan 6.
• TaWRKY70 is positively involved in HTSP resistance, during which SA and ET signalling are probably activated.
• Wheat transcription factor TaWRKY70 is positively involved in high-temperature seedling plant resistance to Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici.
• The expression level of TaWRKY70 was increased significantly when exposed to high temperatures (HTs) during the initial symptom expression stage of Pst infection. The expression of this gene increased in plants treated with ethylene (ET), salicylic acid (SA) and cold (4°C) stresses, but decreased in plants treated with methyl jasmonate (MeJA) and heat (40°C) stresses.
