FvWRKY75 Positively Regulates <i>FvCRK5</i> to Enhance Salt Stress Tolerance.

ABSTRACT: Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) is an important fruit worldwide whose growth, development, and productivity are threatened by salinity. The WRKY transcription factors (TFs) were reported to play an important role in regulating abiotic stresses response. However, research on their roles to regulate salt stress tolerance in strawberry remains limited. In current study, the FvWRKY75 gene was isolated and characterized from the Ruegen strawberry, and induced by various stress treatment. The results showed that the FvWRKY75 transcription factor was a transcriptional activator and localized in the nucleus. Phenotypic and physiological analysis revealed that ectopic expression of FvWRKY75 in Arabidopsis improved salt tolerance by enhancing the antioxidant system
