WRKY 45 is an important transcription factor in the salicylic acid signalling pathway in rice
that mediates chemical‐induced resistance against multiple pathogens. Its constitutive …

Simple Summary WRKY transcription factors, a group of key regulators of many metabolic
processes in plants, are now known to have a significant role in plant defense against sap …

Tobacco rattle virus (TRV)-mediated virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) has been
frequently used in dicots. Here we show that it can also be used in monocots, by presenting …
