Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation TaWAK-6D was identified as a wall-associated kinase gene on wheat chromosome 6D.
- Association TaWAK-6D induction by both fungi was related to wheat resistance degree.
- Intervention effect Exogenous pectin significantly induced TaWAK-6D expression.
- Intervention effect TaWAK-6D silencing compromised resistance to both fungi.
- Intervention effect TaWAK-6D silencing repressed wheat defense-related genes.
- Observation TaWAK-6D protein localized to the plasma membrane in wheat and N. benthamiana.
- Recommendation The authors conclude TaWAK-6D is promising for improving wheat resistance to crown rot and sharp eyespot.
