Summary: In this study, 85 WRKY genes were identified in the genome of N. cadamba, and they were divided into three groups based on their phylogenetic features. The NcWRKY genes were unevenly distributed on 22 chromosomes, and there were two pairs of segmentally duplicated events. The transcript levels of NcWRKY showed distinct expression patterns in various tissues and at different stages of vascular development, and they responded to hormone and abiotic stress treatments. Some NcWRKY genes were found to regulate the biosynthesis of cadambine in response to Methyl jasmonate treatment.

Summary: This study identified 57 RsWRKYs distributed on 13 chromosomes, divided into three groups based on gene structure and phylogenetic relationships. The highly conserved domain WRKYGQK with three variants was observed in RsWRKYs. The expression patterns of most RsWRKY genes responded to multiple phytohormones and abiotic stressors, providing a foundation for breeding stress-tolerant varieties of Rhododendron.

Summary: This study identified and analyzed the WRKY gene family in black raspberry and classified them into three groups through phylogenetic analysis. The conserved motif analysis revealed three core conserved domains in this gene family. Gene expression analysis showed that 12 WRKY genes were highly expressed in black fruits and leaves. Furthermore, the expression difference at different treatment times indicated that the response of most WRKY transcription factors to NaCl and ABA treatment in black raspberry is temporal.

Summary: This study conducted a genome-wide analysis of the WRKY gene family in Liriodendron chinense and found that several WRKY genes respond to cold, heat, or drought stress. The LchiWRKY gene family was divided into three phylogenetic groups, and group II was further divided into five subgroups. The WRKY genes were evenly distributed across 15 chromosomes and showed evidence of tandem duplication. The genes mainly underwent purifying selection and were enriched in certain biological processes and molecular functions. Promoter cis-element analysis revealed their role in environmental adaptability. The study provides important insights into the abiotic stress response of L. chinense and can inform afforestation efforts in China.

Summary: This study identified 20 PLATZ genes in tomatoes and performed comparative modeling and gene ontology annotations, indicating their potential roles in defense response, transcriptional regulation, and protein metabolic processes. Some genes were specifically involved in the development of fruits and flowers, while others were associated with abiotic stress tolerance. Gene co-expression network analysis supported these findings. Confocal fluorescence microscopy revealed the nuclear localization of PLATZ-GFP fusion proteins. These findings enhance our understanding of PLATZ genes and provide a foundation for selecting potential candidate genes involved in tomato development and abiotic stress adaptation.

Summary: The WRKY transcription factor (TF) family, known for its WRKY domain, is one of the largest and most functionally diverse TF families in higher plants. WRKY TFs interact with target gene promoters and play important roles in regulating various physiological responses in woody plants. This review article discusses the origin, distribution, structure, and classification of WRKY TFs, as well as their mechanisms of action, regulatory networks, and biological functions in woody plants. It also explores current research methods, identifies outstanding problems, and proposes new research directions to further our understanding of the biological functions of WRKY TFs.

Summary: WRKY proteins play key roles in regulating growth, development, and stress responses in plants. In this study, 64 IiWRKY genes were identified in Isatis indigotica, classified into three groups based on structure and phylogenetic relationships, and found to contain two variants of the WRKYGQK motif. Gene duplication events and distinct expression patterns in different organs and stress responses were also analyzed. These findings contribute to the understanding of stress responses in this important herb.
