Source Description
TAIRmember of WRKY Transcription Factor; Group III
UniProtTranscription factor involved in the regulation of osmotic stress responses and stomatal movement (PubMed:24773321). Interacts specifically with the W box (5'-(T)TGAC[CT]-3'), a frequently occurring elicitor-responsive cis-acting element (By similarity). Positive regulator of EDS1-dependent defense against E.amylovora (PubMed:22316300). Together with WRKY70 and WRKY53, promotes resistance to P.syringae, probably by enhancing salicylic acid (SA)- dependent genes. Contributes to the suppression of jasmonic acid (MeJA)-induced expression of PDF1.2 (PubMed:22325892). Together with WRKY54 and WRKY70, promotes brassinosteroid (BR)-regulated plant growth but prevent drought response by modulating gene expression (PubMed:28576847). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22316300, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22325892, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24773321, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28576847}.
