Abstract excerpt
WRKYs represent an important family of transcription factors that are widely involved in plant development, defense regulation and stress response. Transgenic rice that constitutively expressed ZmWRKY114 had shorter plant height and showed less sensitivity to gibberellic acid (GA3). Further investigation proved that transgenic rice accumulated lower levels of bioactive GAs than that in wild-type plants....
