Abstract excerpt
As one of the largest families of transcription factors in plants, the WRKY proteins play crucial roles in plant growth and development, defense regulation and stress responses. In this research, ZmWRKY86 encoding a WRKY transcription factor was cloned from maize (Zea mays L.). ZmWRKY86 expression was up-regulated by salt stress. ZmWRKY86 is a nuclear protein and has no transcriptional activation ability in...
