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 …

Plant growth and development are closely related to the environment, and high-temperature
stress is an important environmental factor that affects these processes. WRKY transcription …

ABSTRACT WRKY‐type transcription factors are involved in multiple aspects of plant
growth, development and stress response. WRKY genes have been found to be responsive …

WRKY proteins are a recently identified class of DNA-binding proteins that recognize the
TTGAC (C/T) W-box elements found in the promoters of a large number of plant defense …

Limited information is available regarding the exact function of specific WRKY transcription
factors in plant responses to heat stress. We analyzed the roles of WRKY25, WRKY26, and …

Background WRKY proteins are newly identified transcription factors involved in many plant
processes including plant responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. To date, genes encoding …

An OsWRKY11 gene, which encodes a transcription factor with the WRKY domain, was
identified as one of the genes that was induced by both heat shock and drought stresses in …

The Arabidopsis NPR1 gene is a positive regulator of inducible plant disease resistance.
Expression of NPR1 is induced by pathogen infection or treatment with defense-inducing …

The WRKY proteins are a superfamily of regulators that control diverse developmental and
physiological processes. This family was believed to be plant specific until the recent …

The WRKY transcriptional factor superfamily regulates diverse functions, including
processes such as plant development and stress response. In this study, we have shown …
