Exploration of genes functioning in salt tolerance is crucial for generating transgenic plants with enhanced salt tolerance. In this study, we report the isolation and functional characterization of a stress-responsive gene FcSISP from Meiwa kumquat (Fortunella crassifolia). FcSISP encodes a

WRKY comprises a large family of transcription factors in plants, but most WRKY members are still poorly understood. In this study, we report functional characterization of a Group III WRKY gene (FcWRKY70) from Fortunella crassifolia. FcWRKY70 was greatly induced by drought and abscisic acid, but

Although some WRKYs have been characterized, regulatory roles of most WRKYs remain poorly understood. Herein, we elucidated function of FcWRKY40 from Fortunella crassifolia in salt tolerance via overexpression and virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) and unraveled its target genes. Overexpression of

Chloroplast simple sequence repeat (cpSSR) markers in Citrus were developed and used to analyze chloroplast diversity of Citrus and closely related genera. Fourteen cpSSR primer pairs from the chloroplast genomes of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) and Arabidopsis were found useful for analyzing the
