Valine-Glutamine Proteins in Plant Responses to Oxygen and Nitric Oxide
Multigene families coding for valine-glutamine (VQ) proteins have been identified in all kind of plants but chlorophytes. VQ proteins are transcriptional regulators, which often interact with WRKY transcription factors to regulate gene expression ...

Transcriptomic analysis of field-droughted sorghum from seedling to maturity reveals biotic and metabolic responses. [PDF]
Drought is the most important environmental stress limiting crop yields. The C4 cereal sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is a critical food, forage, and emerging bioenergy crop that is notably drought-tolerant.

WRKY transcription factors: from DNA binding towards biological function [PDF]
WRKY proteins comprise a large family of transcription factors. Despite their dramatic diversification in plants, WRKY genes seem to have originated in early eukaryotes. The cognate DNA-binding site of WRKY factors is well defined, but determining the roles of individual family members in regulating specific transcriptional programs during development ...

Genome wide analysis of stress responsive WRKY transcription factors in Arabidopsis thaliana
WRKY transcription factors are a class of DNA-binding proteins that bind with a specific sequence C/TTGACT/C known as W-Box found in promoters of genes which are regulated by these WRKYs.

The WRKY transcription factor family and senescence in switchgrass [PDF]
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 ...

Regulation of rice responses to submergence by WRKY transcription factors
Responses of rice to submergence have been extensively studied, but the molecular network behind the tolerance to this stress is still incomplete. Transcription factors (TFs) are important players in gene transcription regulation during stresses.

Nuclear processes associated with plant immunity and pathogen susceptibility [PDF]
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 ...
