Transcription factor WRKY complexes in plant signaling pathways

Phytopathology Research
Abstract WRKY transcription factors (TFs) have evolved as a plant-specific gene family. Growing evidences indicate that WRKY TFs play crucial roles in plant growth, development, and responses to environmental stimuli. These TFs primarily recognize W-box cis-elements and to a less extent, WT-box.

Heat-inducible SlWRKY3 confers thermotolerance by activating the SlGRXS1 gene cluster in tomato

Horticultural Plant Journal
High temperature stress is one of the major environmental factors that affect the growth and development of plants. Although WRKY transcription factors play a critical role in stress responses, there are few studies on the regulation of heat stress by ...

The role of WRKY transcription factors in plants

BioTechnologia, 2015
The WRKY proteins are one of the largest families of transcriptional regulators in plants. Their biosynthesis is<br /> induced during certain stages of plant development and upon pathogen infection. A single WRKY transcription<br /> factor may be involved in the regulation of several apparently disparate processes.

Genome-wide identification of WRKY transcription factors in Tetrastigma hemsleyanum (Vitaceae) highlights ThWRKY17 as a hub regulator in hormone and stress signaling

Industrial Crops and Products
WRKY transcription factors form a major family of regulators coordinating plant development and stress adaptation. Here, we identified 69 WRKY genes from the genome of Tetrastigma hemsleyanum (Vitaceae), a traditional Chinese medicinal (TCM) plant highly
