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 …

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 …

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 …

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

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 …

Drought is one of the most serious environmental factors that limit the productivity of
agricultural crops worldwide. However, the mechanism underlying drought tolerance in …

The WRKY gene family, which is one of the largest transcription factor (TF) families, plays an
important role in numerous aspects of plant growth and development, especially in various …

WRKY transcription factors have been suggested to play important roles in response and
adaptation to drought stress. However, how sorghum WRKY transcription factors function in …

Drought stress causes heavy damages to crop growth and productivity under global climatic
changes. Transcription factors have been extensively studied in many crops to play …

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 …
