[Objective]The aim was to explore the function of WRKY transcription factor in tomato.[Method]The primers were designed in this study according to the obtained WRKY fragments,and the total RNA from tomato treated with 100 μmol/L of JA for 6 h was used as the template for RT-PCR.[Result]The 608 bp fragment was obtained from tomato with RT-PCR method.Sequence analysis indicated that this sequence contained WRKYGQK conservative domain and the similarity with Capsicum annuum WRKY-c and Nicotiana tabacum NtWRKY-7 were 79% and 74%,respectively.[Conclusion]WRKY gene sequence in tomato was cloned successfully.
