摘要： Farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (FPS) is a key enzyme that catalyzes the formation of farnesyl pyrophosphate, the main initiator for rubber chain initiation in Hevea brasiliensis Muell. Arg. The transcriptional regulatory mechanisms of the FPS gene still not well understood. Here, a WRKY transcription factor designated HbWRKY27 was obtained by screening the latex cDNA library applied the HbFPS1 promoter as bait. HbWRKY27 interacted with the HbFPS1 promoter was further identified by individual Y1H and EMSA assays. HbWRKY27 belongs to group IIe WRKY subfamily which contains a typical WRKY domain and C-X5-CX23-HXH motif. HbWRKY27 was localized to the nucleus. HbWRKY27 predominantly accumulated in latex. HbWRKY27 was up-regulated in latex by ethrel, salicylic acid, abscisic acid, and methyl jasmonate treatment. Transient expression of HbWRKY27 led to increasing the activity of the HbFPS1 promoter in tobacco plant, suggesting that HbWRKY27 positively regulates the HbFPS1 expression. Taken together, an upstream transcription factor of the key natural rubber biosynthesis gene HbFPS1 was identified and this study will provide novel transcriptional regulatory mechanisms of the FPS gene in Hevea brasiliensis.
