Abiotic and Biotic Stress Response Crosstalk in Plants (2011, background): “related genes (Dong et al., 2003).”
The Complex Regulation of Senescence (2012, background): “W-boxes (binding motifs of WRKY factors) are found in the promoters of numerous WRKY genes (Dong et al., 2003), suggesting that they are part of a regulatory network.”
The ectopic expression of the rice Osmyb4 gene in Arabidopsis increases tolerance to abiotic, environmental and biotic stresses (2006, background): “Among them, a set of transcription factor encoding genes was induced, such as AtERF6, EREBP4 and WRKY6 [43–45].”
The WRKY Gene Family in Rice (Oryza sativa) (2007, background): “Expression analysis of WRKY genes in Arabidopsis shows nearly 70% are differentially regulated by pathogen infection or salicylic acid (SA) treatment, suggesting that the major role of WRKY genes in flowering plants is to mediate defense responses (Dong et al. 2003).”
Analysis of strawberry genes differentially expressed in response to Colletotrichum infection (2006, background): “…a binding preference for the known W box DNA sequence motif, and they have the potential to differentially regulate the expression of a wide range of target genes of the PR type including the WRKY genes themselves (Dong et al. 2003, Eulgem et al. 1999, Rushton and Somssich 1998, Yang et al. 1999).”
Cloning and expression profiles of 15 genes encoding WRKY transcription factor in wheat (Triticum aestivem L.) (2008, background): “The WRKY transcriptional factor family is functionally significant in this regulatory net, since current data have indicated that a great deal of WRKY genes can be induced by many biotic and abiotic stress factors [22,49].”
WRKY75 Transcription Factor Is a Modulator of Phosphate Acquisition and Root Development in Arabidopsis1[C][W][OA] (2007, background): “Members of the plant-specific WRKY transcription factor family have been implicated in the regulation of genes involved in pathogen-induced stress, as well as drought, cold, and salinity stresses (Seki et al., 2002; Dong et al., 2003).”
Coffee resistance to the main diseases: leaf rust and coffee berry disease (2006, background): “Particularly involved are several WRKY proteins which are implicated in the regulation of several biological processes, including pathogen defence (Dong et al., 2003; Ülker and Somssich, 2004).”
The WRKY70 Transcription Factor: A Node of Convergence for Jasmonate-Mediated and Salicylate-Mediated Signals in Plant Defense On-line version contains Web-only data. (2004, background): “Dong et al. (2003) showed that 49 of the 72 A. thaliana WRKY genes were differentially regulated in response to exogenous SA or infection by a bacterial pathogen.”
Over-expression of the stress-induced OsWRKY45 enhances disease resistance and drought tolerance in Arabidopsis (2009, background): “Further analysis has shown that three Arabidopsis members of the WRKY subgroup IIg, WRKY18, WRKY40 and WRKY60 (Dong et al., 2003), all interact both physically and functionally in complex patterns of distinct overlapping and antagonistic roles in plant defensive pathways (Xu et al.”
WRKY transcription factors: from DNA binding towards biological function. (2004, background): “In Arabidopsis, nearly all group-III members respond to diverse biotic stresses [8 ,9 ], suggesting that this group has evolved late in land plants, perhaps as a consequence of increasing environmental pressures.”
Phosphorylation of a WRKY Transcription Factor by Two Pathogen-Responsive MAPKs Drives Phytoalexin Biosynthesis in Arabidopsis[C][W] (2011, background): “Expression of many WRKY genes is highly induced by stresses, especially pathogen-related stimuli (Dong et al., 2003; Pandey and Somssich, 2009; Rushton et al., 2010).”
Networks of WRKY transcription factors in defense signaling. (2007, background): “AtWRKY33 is activated with similar kinetics by defense-related stimuli [18,34,41].”
Role of DREB transcription factors in abiotic and biotic stress tolerance in plants (2006, background): “They play a key role in regulating the pathogen-induced defense responses (Dong et al. 2003), abiotic stress responses (Fowler and Thomashow 2002; Seki et al.”
