Localization of WRKY transcription factor genes in common pear and primer design in silico

In this study, WRKY57, WRKY32, WRKY3 transcription factor genes were identified in the genome of Pýrus commúnis. Primer sets for real-time PCR analysis were also designed. The analysis provided a basis for further functional analysis and molecular evolution of WRKY genes in pear. This is particularly relevant for improving drought tolerance in pear by manipulating WRKY genes.
