e1“The two wrky6 T‐DNA insertion mutants were highly sensitive to LK treatment, whose primary root lengths were much shorter, less biomass and lower K + content in roots than those of wild‐type plants, while WRKY6 ‐overexpression lines showed opposite phenotypes”

Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect The wrky6 mutants had less biomass than wild-type plants under low potassium treatment.
- Intervention effect The wrky6 mutants had lower root K+ content than wild-type plants under low potassium treatment.
- Intervention effect WRKY6-overexpression lines showed opposite phenotypes to the wrky6 mutants under low potassium treatment.
- Mechanism WRKY6 regulates the expression of the AKT1 gene in Arabidopsis.
- Mechanism WRKY6 enhances the transcription of AKT1 in Arabidopsis.
- Intervention effect Overexpression of AKT1 rescued the short root phenotype of the wrky6 mutant under low potassium stress.
- Mechanism AKT1 is epistatic to WRKY6 in controlling the low potassium response.
- Mechanism WRKY6 modulates the low potassium response through a complex regulatory network.
- Observation WRKY6 showed a quick response to low potassium stress and to other abiotic stress treatments.
