Abstract excerpt
The WRKY family of plant transcription factors controls several types of plant stress responses. Arabidopsis WRKY8, localized to the nucleus, is mainly induced by abscissic acid, H(2)O(2), wounding, Pseudomonas syringae and Botrytis cinerea infection, and aphid and maggot feeding. To determine its biological functions, we isolated loss-of-function T-DNA insertion mutants and generated gain-of-function...
