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 in flowering plants encodes a large group of transcription factors
(TFs) that play essential roles in diverse stress responses, developmental, and physiological …

Microbial pathogens infect host cells by delivering virulence factors (effectors) that interfere
with defenses. In plants, intracellular nucleotide-binding/leucine-rich repeat receptors …

Plants constantly face a plethora of abiotic and biotic stresses in their natural habitat.
Adapting to such changes requires a great degree of phenotypic plasticity that is mainly …

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 …

R alstonia solanacearum is a soil‐borne bacterium causing the widespread disease known
as bacterial wilt. R alstonia solanacearum is also the causal agent of M oko disease of …

The WRKY transcription factors have been implicated in multiple biological processes in
plants, especially in regulating defense against biotic and abiotic stresses. However, little …

In the field, plants constantly face a plethora of abiotic and biotic stresses that can impart
detrimental effects on plants. In response to multiple stresses, plants can rapidly reprogram …

It has been almost 20 years since the first report of a WRKY transcription factor, SPF1, from
sweet potato. Great progress has been made since then in establishing the diverse …

The molecular mechanisms underlying the trade-off between plant innate immunity and
steroid-mediated growth are controversial. Here, we report that activation of the transcription …
