Key message We report that GhWRKY21, a WRKY transcription factor, plays essential roles
in regulating the intensity of the drought-induced ABA signalling pathway by facilitating the …

Background Drought stress has great negative effects on the plant growth and development.
The tolerance of plants to such abiotic stress is triggered by complicated and multilayered …

Drought and high salinity are two major environmental factors that significantly limit the
productivity of agricultural crops worldwide. WRKY transcription factors play essential roles …

As the important source of natural fibers in the textile industry, cotton fiber quality and yield
are often restricted to drought conditions because most of cotton plants in the world grow in …

Drought and high salinity are key limiting factors for cotton production. Therefore, research is
increasingly focused on the underlying stress response mechanisms of cotton. We first …

WRKY transcription factors are transcriptional regulators of signaling pathways involved in
biotic and abiotic stress responses. In this study, we report that ectopic expression of the …

Key message GbWRKY1 can function as a negative regulator of ABA signaling via JAZ1 and
ABI1, with effects on salt and drought tolerance. Abstract WRKY transcription factors play …

WRKY transcription factors have been suggested to play crucial roles in the response to
biotic and abiotic stresses. However, previous studies concerning WRKYs have primarily …

WRKY transcription factors (TFs) play essential roles in the plant response to leaf
senescence and abiotic stress. However, the WRKY TFs involved in leaf senescence and …

Drought is a key limiting factor for cotton (Gossypium spp.) production, as more than half of
the global cotton supply is grown in regions with high water shortage. However, the …
