| Abstract | WRKY transcription factors, which form integral parts of signaling webs that modulate many plant processes, are one of the largest families of transcriptional regulators in plants. More and more findings demonstrate that WRKY transcription factors function as repressors as well as activators, and play roles in both the repression and derepression of important plant processes. Furthermore, a single WRKY transcription factor might be involved in regulating several disparate processes. Recent investigation displayed that WRKY proteins function via interactions with a diverse protein partners, especially the important proteins related to the phytohormone signaling pathways, including JAZs, DELLAs, and IAAs. These illustrate that there might be a complex regulation networks between WRKY transcription factors and the phytohormone signaling pathways. |
