Application of luffa transcription factor gene LcWRKY69 in regulation of agronomic traits
By cloning and overexpressing the LcWRKY69 transcription factor gene of loofah, the problems of delayed flowering and low yield of loofah under high temperature and humidity conditions were solved, achieving the effect of early flowering and high yield.

AI Technical Summary
In hot and humid environments, loofah plants are prone to becoming weak, growing unbalanced, and suffering from severe pests and diseases, leading to delayed harvest and reduced yield. Existing technologies are insufficient to effectively control its flowering period and yield.
By cloning and overexpressing the LcWRKY69 transcription factor gene from loofah, and introducing it into target plants using Agrobacterium-mediated transformation, the flowering period and yield can be regulated, promoting early flowering and increasing yield.
This method enables early flowering and increased yield by avoiding the peak period of pests and diseases in high temperature and humidity environments, providing an early-maturing and high-yield solution for greenhouse loofah cultivation.
