DELLAs control plant immune responses by modulating the balance of jasmonic acid and salicylic acid signaling. (2008, background): “Among those, we identified defense-related genes including a subset of plant defense WRKY transcription factors [10].”
Evidence for an Important Role of WRKY DNA Binding Proteins in the Regulation of NPR1 Gene Expression (2001, methodology): “Seven of these expressed sequence tag clones correspond to AtWRKY3, AtWRKY4, AtWRKY6, AtWRKY7, AtWRKY15, AtWRKY21, and AtWRKY53 (Eulgem et al., 2000) and were found to be induced in SAtreated Arabidopsis plants (Figure 8).”
Plant pathogens and integrated defence responses to infection (2001, background): “WRKY proteins are plant-specific zinc-finger transcription factors that are transcriptionally activated during some plant defence response”
Expression profiles of the Arabidopsis WRKY gene superfamily during plant defense response (2004, background): “The WRKY domains contain a conserved WRKYGQK sequence followed by a Cys2His2 or Cys2HisCys zinc-binding motif (Eulgem et al., 2000).”
Poplar and Pathogen Interactions: Insights from Populus Genome-Wide Analyses of Resistance and Defense Gene Families and Gene Expression Profiling (2009, background): “Members of this family share a common conserved WRKY motif, which allows WRKY proteins to bind to cognate binding sites (C/TTGACC/T, W boxes) found in the promoters of target genes (Eulgem et al., 2000).”
Targets of AtWRKY6 regulation during plant senescence and pathogen defense. (2002, background): “WRKY42, the WRKY6 homolog (Eulgem et al. 2000), also shares a similar promoter architecture of certain regulatory modules with WRKY6 (Robatzek and Somssich 2001).”
Targets of the WRKY53 transcription factor and its role during leaf senescence in Arabidopsis (2004, background): “The plant specific WRKY transcription factor family, especially WRKY4, 6, and 11 of Arabidopsis, have been suggested to play a role in leaf senescence (Eulgem et al., 2000; Robatzek and Somssich, 2001).”
Characterization of OsbZIP23 as a Key Player of the Basic Leucine Zipper Transcription Factor Family for Conferring Abscisic Acid Sensitivity and Salinity and Drought Tolerance in Rice1[W][OA] (2008, background): “The GCC boxes are known as recognition sites for WRKYand ERF transcription factors and have been suggested to be involved in responses and adaptation to plant abiotic or biotic stresses (Eulgem et al., 2000; Brown et al., 2003).”
Recognition and response in the plant immune system. (2003, background): “Members of the large plant-specific family of WRKY transcription factors (41) appear to act upstream and downstream of NPR1 in defense signaling.”
WRKY transcription factors (2014, neutral): “Based on these features Eulgem et al.26 classified WRKY proteins into 3 groups: WRKY proteins with 2 WRKY domains belong to group I, whereas most proteins with one WRKY domain belong to group II.”
ROS Regulation During Abiotic Stress Responses in Crop Plants (2015, background): “The WRKY family proteins have one or two conserved WRKY domains comprising a highly conserved WRKYGQK heptapeptide at the N-terminus and a zinc-finger-like motif at the C-terminus (Eulgem et al., 2000).”
