Protein
WRKY transcription factor 72A
Organism
Solanum lycopersicum
Function
Transcription activator involved in the transcriptional regulation of terpene biosynthesis in glandular trichomes (PubMed:24884371). Binds to the promoter of the linalool synthase TPS5 and promotes TPS5 gene transactivation (PubMed:24884371). In association with WRKY72B, contributes to basal defense against root-knot nematodes (RKNs) and potato aphids, as well as Mi-1-mediated gene-for-gene resistance to these pests (PubMed:20409007). Both WRKY72A and WRKY72B are not required for gene-for-gene resistance mediated by Pto, another tomato R gene (PubMed:20409007).
Similarity
Belongs to the WRKY group II-b family.
