Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Brassinosteroid treatment upregulates ZmWRKY104 expression.
- Intervention effect ZmWRKY104 overexpression significantly increases APX and SOD antioxidant enzyme activities.
- Intervention effect Co-expression of ZmWRKY104 and ZmCCaMK synergistically promotes antioxidant defense in maize.
- Intervention effect Under 100 mM NaCl, ZmWRKY104-overexpressing maize had less leaf yellowing than wild type.
- Intervention effect Under salt stress, ZmWRKY104-overexpressing maize had greater plant height and root length than wild type.
- Intervention effect Under salt stress, ZmWRKY104-overexpressing maize had lower electrolyte leakage and malondialdehyde content than wild type.
- Mechanism Authors identify a non-phosphorylation-dependent WRKY-CCaMK module that enhances brassinosteroid-induced salt tolerance through antioxidant defense.
- Recommendation Authors propose ZmWRKY104 as a candidate for salt-tolerant maize breeding in northern China.
