Key Points

To explore the structural diversity of the WRKY gene family through a pangenomic approach and its implications for trait adaptation in Oleaceae.
Utilized pangenomic analysis to assess WRKY diversity.
Developed variant-trait hypotheses based on structural data.
Focused on enhancing resolution beyond single-reference models.
Identified significant diversity within the WRKY gene family.
Demonstrated potential for superior fragrance and coloration in cultivars.
Highlighted improved resilience to environmental stresses in the context of breeding.

Abstract

Incorporating pangenomics into WRKY family analyses is expected to move Oleaceae research beyond single-reference catalogues towards trait-oriented gene discovery. A pangenome-enabled workflow significantly enhances the resolution of WRKY diversity and variant-trait hypotheses, thereby laying a foundation for functional validation and molecular breeding of cultivars that harmonize superior fragrance and coloration with enhanced environmental stress resilience.
