Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation WRKY8 is a physiological substrate of SIPK, NTF4, and WIPK.
- Observation The conserved SP cluster of WRKY8 was phosphorylated by the MAPKs in vitro.
- Observation SIPK, NTF4, and WIPK phosphorylated WRKY8 SP cluster residues in vivo.
- Mechanism The WRKY8 D domain mediated MAPK interaction and effective phosphorylation in plants.
- Intervention effect WRKY8 phosphorylation increased binding to the W-box sequence.
- Observation Phospho-mimicking WRKY8 showed higher transactivation activity.
- Intervention effect Ectopic phospho-mimicking WRKY8 induced defense-related genes.
- Intervention effect WRKY8 silencing increased susceptibility to Phytophthora infestans.
- Intervention effect WRKY8 silencing increased susceptibility to Colletotrichum orbiculare.
