Dissecting the WRKY Web of Plant Defense Regulators
During the past ten years, a large body of circumstantial evidence has accumulated, implicating WRKY factors in transcriptional reprogramming during plant immune responses [1–3]. Encoded by complex gene families in higher plants [4], these transcription factors share a DNA-binding domain (WRKY domain) comprising approximately 60 amino acids [5]. Additional conserved features of WRKYs are limite...
متن کاملUpdate on WRKY Transcription Factors in Plant Defense The Role of WRKY Transcription Factors in Plant Immunity
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 determined by the plant’s genome. We currently do not know how plants are able to integrate the multitude of partly synergistic/partly antagonistic environmental signals that enable them to respond properly under any ...
متن کاملThe WRKY superfamily of plant transcription factors.
The WRKY proteins are a superfamily of transcription factors with up to 100 representatives in Arabidopsis. Family members appear to be involved in the regulation of various physio-logical programs that are unique to plants, including pathogen defense, senescence and trichome development. In spite of the strong conservation of their DNA-binding domain, the overall structures of WRKY proteins ar...
متن کاملNetworks of WRKY transcription factors in defense signaling.
Members of the complex family of WRKY transcription factors have been implicated in the regulation of transcriptional reprogramming associated with plant immune responses. Recently genetic evidence directly proving their significance as positive and negative regulators of disease resistance has accumulated. WRKY genes were shown to be functionally connected forming a transcriptional network com...
