Annotated Information
Gene Symbol
- Os06g0649000 <=> OsWRKY28
Function
- The plant WRKY transcription factors are involved in the regulation of various biological processes.
- The WRKY genes encode zinc-finger proteins, which may play import roles in disease resistance and responses to salicylic acid and jasmonic acid, seed development and germination mediated by gibberellins, other developmental processes including senescence, and responses to abiotic stresses and abscisic acid in rice.
- Several studies have suggested that some WRKY proteins may be the target of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) that alter their activity.
- The researchers think that the studies of WRKY transcription factors family will not only further our understanding of the fundamental processes that are controlled by WRKY genes in plants, but also help enhance agricultural productivity.
Expression
- WRKY mRNA accumulates rapidly after induction and seemingly does not require the synthesis of new transcription factors. [2]
Evolution
- The WRKY gene family is widely distributed among terrestrial plants and is present in both monocotyledonous and dicotyle-donous plants.
- There are more WRKY family members in rice than in Arabidopsis.
- A phylogenetic analysis of WRKY domains between rice and Arabidopsis shows WRKY domains of the same type forming independent domains within their species, suggesting that numerous WRKY gene duplications occurred after the divergence of the monocotyledons from dicotyledons some 50–80 million years ago.[3]
