The WRKY gene family is a plant-specific transcription factor (TF) group, playing important
roles in many different response pathways of diverse abiotic stresses (drought, saline, alkali …

Salinity or salt stress has deleterious effects on plant growth and development. It imposes
osmotic, ionic, and secondary stresses, including oxidative stress on the plants and is …

The plant WRKY gene family represents an ancient and complex class of zinc-finger
transcription factors (TFs) that are involved in the regulation of various physiological …

Background WRKY transcription factors are one of the largest families of transcriptional
regulators in plants. WRKY genes are not only found to play significant roles in biotic and …

High salinity severely inhibits the growth and productivity of grape plants. However,
knowledge of salt-stress regulation remains limited in WRKY members of grapes. Here, we …

Abstract Key message Based on Arabidopsis microarray, we found 8 WRKY genes were up-
regulated with Oxalic acid (OA) challenge, AtWRKY28 and AtWRKY75 overexpression lines …

A small set of TTG2-like homolog proteins from different species belonging to the WRKY
family of transcription factors were shown to share a similar mechanism of action and to …

The WRKY transcription factors are a class of transcriptional regulators that are ubiquitous in
plants, wherein they play key roles in various physiological activities, including responses to …

Grapevines are challenged by a range of diseases and pests, causing economic losses and
requiring often costly approaches to mitigate damage. Public interest in reducing the use of …

Grapevine (Vitis vinifera) berries are extremely sensitive to infection by the biotrophic
pathogen Erysiphe necator, causing powdery mildew disease with deleterious effects on …
