Genome-Wide Identification of Sweet Orange WRKY Transcription Factors and Analysis of Their Expression in Response to Infection by Penicillium digitatum.

ABSTRACT: WRKY transcription factors (TFs) play a vital role in plant stress signal transduction and regulate the expression of various stress resistance genes. Sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) accounts for a large proportion of the world's citrus industry, which has high economic value, while Penicillium digitatum is a prime pathogenic causing postharvest rot of oranges. There are few reports on how CsWRKY TFs play their regulatory roles after P. digitatum infects the fruit. In this study, we performed genome-wide identification, classification, phylogenetic and conserved domain analysis of CsWRKY TFs, visualized the structure and chromosomal localization of the encoded genes, explored the expression pattern of each CsWRKY gene under P. digitatum stress by transcrip
