WRKY Genes Improve Drought Tolerance in Arachis duranensis.

ABSTRACT: WRKY transcription factor participates in plant growth and development and response to biotic and abiotic stresses. Arachis duranensis, a turfgrass, has high drought tolerance, yet little is known about AdWRKYs response to drought stress in A. duranensis. In this study, RNA-seq identified five AdWRKYs, including AdWRKY18, AdWRKY40, AdWRKY42, AdWRKY56, and AdWRKY64, which were upregulated under drought stress. Orthologous relationships between AdWRKYs and Arabidopsis WRKY were determined to predict the regulatory networks of the five AdWRKYs based on AtWRKYs. Additionally, protein-protein interactions were predicted using differentially expressed proteins from RNA-seq. The quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) resul
