Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect WRKY4 expression was downregulated in tomato by AR156 induction.
- Mechanism WRKY4 functions as a negative regulator in AR156-induced systemic resistance against tomato bacterial wilt.
- Observation WRKY4 is localized in the nucleus.
- Observation WRKY4 directly targets the promoter region of the SSL3 (Strictosidine Synthase-Like) gene.
- Mechanism WRKY4 negatively regulates SSL3 expression, contributing to AR156-ISR against tomato bacterial wilt.
