Source Description
TAIRmember of WRKY Transcription Factor; Group III
UniProtTranscription factor. Interacts specifically with the W box (5'-(T)TGAC[CT]-3'), a frequently occurring elicitor-responsive cis-acting element (By similarity). Together with WRKY70, negative regulator of developmental senescence, probably via the regulation of several senescence-associated markers genes (PubMed:22268143). Positive regulator of EDS1-dependent defense against E.amylovora (PubMed:22316300). In collaboration with WRKY70, prevents stomatal closure and, consequently, osmotic stress tolerance (PubMed:23815736). Together with WRKY46 and WRKY70, promotes brassinosteroid (BR)-regulated plant growth but prevent drought response by modulating gene expression (PubMed:28576847). Negative regulator of SA biosynthesis (PubMed:28837631). Prevents defense response to the necrotrophic pathogens P.carotovorum and B.cinerea, but promotes defense against biotrophic/hemibiotrophic pathogens P.syringae pv. tomato (Pst) DC3000, probably by regulating negatively the jasmonic acid (JA)/ethylene (ET) and positively the salicylic acid (SA) signaling pathways (PubMed:28837631). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9SUP6, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22268143, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22316300, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23815736, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28576847, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28837631, ECO:0000303|PubMed:28837631}.

  1. WRKY54 and WRKY70 are negative regulators of leaf senescence.
    [PMID: 22268143]
  2. WRKY70 and WRKY54 co-operate as negative regulators of stomatal closure and, consequently, osmotic stress tolerance in Arabidopsis, suggesting that they have an important role, not only in plant defense, but also in abiotic stress signaling.
    [PMID: 23815736]
  3. Arabidopsis WRKY46, WRKY54, and WRKY70 Transcription Factors Are Involved in Brassinosteroid-Regulated Plant Growth and Drought Responses
    [PMID: 28576847]
  4. data suggest that the elevated SA level in the wrky54wrky70 double mutant results in moderate accumulation of H2O2, in promoting cell wall fortification and consequently enhanced resistance to necrotrophs but is not sufficient to trigger hypersensitive reaction (HR)-like cell death and resistance to biotrophs/hemibiotrophs like Pst DC3000
