Genbank accession number

• When OsWRKY114 is overexpressed in transgenic plants they show enhanced disease resistance against Xoo compared with wild types
• These results suggest that OsWRKY114 enhances the innate immunity of Asian rice against Xoo through direct activation of defense genes that include OsPR1a and chtinase
• OsWRKY114 has transcriptional activity in yeast and localizes in the nucleus
• This is the first report to functionally characterize OsWRKY114 in Xoo infection
• When OsWRKY114 is overexpressed in transgenic plants they show enhanced disease and cell-based functional analyses, we showed OsWRKY114 directly associates with the promoters of OsPR1a and Chitinase and increases the promoter activities
• The WRKY Group III transcription factor OsWRKY114 is a positive regulator of innate immunity against Xanthomonas oryzae pv
• OsWRKY114 Negatively Regulates Drought Tolerance by Restricting Stomatal Closure in Rice.
• In this study, we showed that the abundant OsWRKY114 transcripts present in transgenic rice plants are reduced under drought conditions
• The overexpression of OsWRKY114 significantly increased drought sensitivity in rice, which resulted in a lower survival rate after drought stress
• Taken together, these results suggest that OsWRKY114 negatively regulates plant tolerance to drought stress via inhibition of stomatal closure, which would otherwise prevent water loss in rice
• In this study, we revealed that OsWRKY114 is involved in the ABA response during Xoo infection
• OsWRKY114 attenuated the negative effect of ABA on salicylic acid-dependent immunity
• Furthermore, OsWRKY114 decreased the transcript levels of ABA-associated genes involved in ABA response and biosynthesis
• Taken together, our results suggest that OsWRKY114 is a negative regulator of ABA that confers susceptibility to Xoo in rice
