Key message WRKY transcription factors are among the largest families of transcriptional
regulators. In this review, their pivotal role in modulating various signal transduction …

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 …

INTRODUCTION Polyploidy, arising from whole-genome duplication or interspecific
hybridization, is ubiquitous across the plant and fungal kingdoms. The presence of highly …

Among abiotic stressors, drought and salinity seriously affect crop growth worldwide. In
plants, research has aimed to increase stress-responsive protein synthesis upstream or …

Crop performance is severely affected by high salt concentrations in soils. To engineer more
salt-tolerant plants it is crucial to unravel the key components of the plant salt-tolerance …

Tolerance of plants to abiotic stressors such as drought and salinity is triggered by complex
multicomponent signaling pathways to restore cellular homeostasis and promote survival …

Background WRKY proteins comprise a large family of transcription factors that play
important roles in many aspects of physiological processes and adaption to environment …

WRKY transcription factors are one of the largest families of transcriptional regulators found
exclusively in plants. They have diverse biological functions in plant disease resistance …

WRKY transcription factors are one of the largest families of transcriptional regulators in
plants and form integral parts of signalling webs that modulate many plant processes. Here …

Abstract ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTOR1 (ERF1) is an upstream component in both
jasmonate (JA) and ethylene (ET) signaling and is involved in pathogen resistance …
