Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation TaWRKY133 responded to abiotic stresses including PEG.
- Observation TaWRKY133 was localized to nuclei of tobacco epidermal cells.
- Observation Both TaWRKY133 terminal domains showed transcriptional activation.
- Intervention effect TaWRKY133 overexpression reduced Arabidopsis drought tolerance, germination, roots, growth and antioxidant activity while increasing stomatal aperture.
- Observation Stress-related gene expression was downregulated in transgenic Arabidopsis under drought.
- Intervention effect TaWRKY133 silencing increased stress-related gene expression in wheat.
- Mechanism The authors suggest TaWRKY133 reduces drought tolerance via stress-related gene regulation.
