Eucalyptus grandis WRKY genes provide insight into the role of arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis in defense against Ralstonia solanacearum by Jianlang Zhang, Xinzhu Yang, Chunyu Huo, Xinyi Fan, Qiutong Liu, Zhihong Liu, Yu Su, Zujing Chen, Zujing Chen

“…IntroductionWRKY transcription factors are essential for plant growth, health, and responses to biotic and abiotic stress.MethodsIn this study, we performed a deep in silico characterization of the WRKY gene family in the genome of Eucalyptus grandis. We also analyzed the expression profiles of these genes upon colonization by the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF) Rhizophagus irregularis (Ri) and infection with the bacterial pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum (Rs).ResultsA total of 117 EgWRKYs were identified. …”
