Identifier sources and regulatory direction
GenBank sequence accessions are not assembly gene models. Identifiers refer to the stated reference or clone, not every homoeolog in cultivated strawberry.

FaSnRK1α positively regulates gray mold resistance, whereas FaWRKY33.2 is a negative regulator (Luo et al., 2024). Inclusion in a resistance category does not imply a positive effect.
