The WRKY transcription factor family and senescence in switchgrass [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2015 Early aerial senescence in switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) can significantly limit biomass yields. WRKY transcription factors that can regulate senescence could be used to reprogram senescence and enhance biomass yields.All potential WRKY genes present in the version 1.0 of the switchgrass genome were identified and curated using manual and ...

Nuclear processes associated with plant immunity and pathogen susceptibility [PDF]
, 2015 Plants are sessile organisms that have evolved exquisite and sophisticated mechanisms to adapt to their biotic and abiotic environment. Plants deploy receptors and vast signalling networks to detect, transmit and respond to a given biotic threat by ...

WRKY transcription factor genes in wild riceOryza nivara [PDF]
DNA Research, 2016 The WRKY transcription factor family is one of the largest gene families involved in plant development and stress response. Although many WRKY genes have been studied in cultivated rice (Oryza sativa), the WRKY genes in the wild rice species Oryza nivara, the direct progenitor of O. sativa, have not been studied. O.

WRKY Transcription Factors Involved in Activation of SA Biosynthesis Genes [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2011 Abstract Background Increased defense against a variety of pathogens in plants is achieved through activation of a mechanism known as systemic acquired resistance (SAR). The broad-spectrum resistance brought about by SAR is mediated through salicylic acid (SA).

Bayesian modeling of plant drought resistance pathway
BMC Plant Biology, 2019 Background Plants are sessile organisms and are unable to relocate to favorable locations under extreme environmental conditions. Hence they have no choice but to acclimate and eventually adapt to the severe conditions to ensure their survival.

Expression analysis of transcription factors from the interaction between cacao and Moniliophthora perniciosa (Tricholomataceae) [PDF]
, 2010 Cacao (Theobroma cacao) is one of the most important tropical crops; however, production is threatened by numerous pathogens, including the hemibiotrophic fungus Moniliophthora perniciosa, which causes witches' broom disease. To understand the mechanisms
