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): “The observed SA-induction pattern is consistent with that of two other WRKY genes, WRKY18 and WRKY53 (Yu et al., 2001), and supports the idea that NPR1 is involved in an amplification loop of SA-induced expression of WRKY70.”
Recognition and response in the plant immune system. (2003, background): “NPR1expression has been demonstrated to be controlled by WRKY factors (172).”
Systemic acquired resistance: turning local infection into global defense. (2013, neutral): “W boxes, the cis-elements for WRKYs, are overrepresented in the promoters of the SAR-related genes, including ICS1, NPR1, and PR1 (86, 147, 151).”
WRKY75 Transcription Factor Is a Modulator of Phosphate Acquisition and Root Development in Arabidopsis1[C][W][OA] (2007, background): “Several studies have suggested that WRKY transcription factors regulate their target genes by binding to the W boxes on their promoters (Yu et al., 2001; Kim et al., 2006).”
Growth-defense tradeoffs in plants: a balancing act to optimize fitness. (2014, positive): “WRKYs are involved in both NPR1-dependent and NPR1-independent SA signaling and, as in the case of PTI, include both positive and negative regulators of SA-mediated defense (Yu et al., 2001; Wang et al., 2006; Rushton et al., 2010; Fu and Dong, 2013).”

(2002, background): “Proteins involved in stress response occur in all three groups in parsley, tobacco, and Arabidopsis (Eulgem et al., 2000; Robatzek and Somssich, 2001; Yu et al., 2001).”
The Role of WRKY Transcription Factors in Plant Immunity[W] (2009, background): “Moreover, SA biosynthesis and expression of NONEXPRESSOR OF PR1 (NPR1), a key central regulator of SA-dependent defenses and SAR, also appear to be regulated by WRKY TFs (Yu et al., 2001).”
Arabidopsis WRKY33 transcription factor is required for resistance to necrotrophic fungal pathogens. (2006, background): “Secondly, the promoters of a large number of plant defense or defense-related genes including PR genes and NPR1 contain W-box sequences that are recognized by WRKY proteins and are necessary for the inducible expression of these defense genes (Yu et al., 2001).”
Targets of AtWRKY6 regulation during plant senescence and pathogen defense. (2002, background): “Recently, Yu et al. (2001) showed that WRKY factors can activate NPR1 via W boxes present within its promoter.”
Networks of WRKY transcription factors in defense signaling. (2007, background): “NPR1 is regulated by WRKY TFs interacting with two W box elements in its 5UTR [44].”
A Genomic Approach to Identify Regulatory Nodes in the Transcriptional Network of Systemic Acquired Resistance in Plants (2006, background): “The expression of NPR1 itself has been shown to be under the regulation of WRKY factors [11].”
Cloning and expression profiles of 15 genes encoding WRKY transcription factor in wheat (Triticum aestivem L.) (2008, background): “In plant, WRKY genes are considered to play regulatory functions in defense against biotic and abiotic stresses, such as the infection of bacteria [6,9,23–26], fungi [27], oomycetes [10,28] and viruses [5], treating with salicylic acid (SA) [6,23,29] or H2O2 [30], mechanical stimulation [31], drough”
Over-expression of the stress-induced OsWRKY45 enhances disease resistance and drought tolerance in Arabidopsis (2009, background): “For instance, a number of studies have shown that WRKY transcription factors bind and promote the expression of several well characterized PR and NPR1 genes, all of which contain W box elements in their promoter regions (Yang et al., 1999; Yu et al., 2001).”
