Studies on DNA-binding selectivity of WRKY transcription factors lend structural clues into WRKY-domain function [PDF]
Plant Molecular Biology, 2008 WRKY transcription factors have been shown to play a major role in regulating, both positively and negatively, the plant defense transcriptome. Nearly all studied WRKY factors appear to have a stereotypic binding preference to one DNA element termed the W-box.

Comparative analysis of plant immune receptor architectures uncovers host proteins likely targeted by pathogens. [PDF]
, 2016 BACKGROUND: Plants deploy immune receptors to detect pathogen-derived molecules and initiate defense responses. Intracellular plant immune receptors called nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) proteins contain a central nucleotide-binding (NB ...

Genome-wide identification of WRKY family genes in peach and analysis of WRKY expression during bud dormancy [PDF]
Molecular Genetics and Genomics, 2016 Bud dormancy in deciduous fruit trees is an important adaptive mechanism for their survival in cold climates. The WRKY genes participate in several developmental and physiological processes, including dormancy. However, the dormancy mechanisms of WRKY genes have not been studied in detail.

WRKY group IId transcription factors interact with calmodulin [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2005 Calmodulin (CaM) is a ubiquitous Ca2+‐binding protein known to regulate diverse cellular functions by modulating the activity of various target proteins. We isolated a cDNA encoding AtWRKY7, a novel CaM‐binding transcription factor, from an Arabidopsis expression library with horseradish peroxidase‐conjugated CaM.

Regulation of Specialized Metabolism by WRKY Transcription Factors [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2014 Abstract WRKY transcription factors (TFs) are well known for regulating plant abiotic and biotic stress tolerance. However, much less is known about how WRKY TFs affect plant-specialized metabolism. Analysis of WRKY TFs regulating the production of specialized metabolites emphasizes the values of the family outside of traditionally ...

WRKY Genes Improve Drought Tolerance in Arachis duranensis
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 WRKY transcription factor participates in plant growth and development and response to biotic and abiotic stresses. Arachis duranensis, a turfgrass, has high drought tolerance, yet little is known about AdWRKYs response to drought stress in A. duranensis.

High-resolution temporal profiling of transcripts during Arabidopsis leaf senescence reveals a distinct chronology of processes and regulation [PDF]
, 2011 Leaf senescence is an essential developmental process that impacts dramatically on crop yields and involves altered regulation of thousands of genes and many metabolic and signaling pathways, resulting in major changes in the leaf.
