Abstract excerpt
Group Ⅲ WRKY transcription factors (TFs) play pivotal roles in responding to the diverse abiotic stress and secondary metabolism of plants. However, the evolution and function of WRKY66 remains unclear. Here, WRKY66 homologs were traced back to the origin of terrestrial plants and found to have been subjected to both motifs' gain and loss, and purifying selection. A phylogenetic analysis showed that 145 WRKY66...
