• Information
  • Symbol: OsWRKY89
  • MSU: LOC_Os11g02520
  • RAPdb: Os11g0117400
• Publication
  • Overexpression of rice WRKY89 enhances ultraviolet B tolerance and disease resistance in rice plants, 2007, Plant Mol Biol.

• Genbank accession number
  • AY781112
• Key message
  • These results suggest that OsWRKY89 plays an important role in response to biotic and abiotic stresses
  • Overexpression of OsWRKY89 led to growth retardation at the early stage and reduction of internode length
  • RNA gel blot analysis indicated that OsWRKY89 was strongly induced by treatments of methyl jasmonate and UV-B radiation
  • Scanning electron microscopy revealed an increase in wax deposition on leaf surfaces of the OsWRKY89 overexpression lines and a decrease in wax loading in the RNAi-mediated OsWRKY89 suppression lines
  • Interestingly, overexpression of the OsWRKY89 gene enhanced resistance to the rice blast fungus and white-backed planthopper as well as tolerance to UV-B irradiation
