Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: TaWRKY19
• Gene Name:
• Genome:
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• Wheat WRKY genes TaWRKY2 and TaWRKY19 regulate abiotic stress tolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis plants.
• TaWRKY2 and TaWRKY19 are nuclear proteins, and displayed specific binding to typical cis-element W box. Transgenic Arabidopsis plants overexpressing TaWRKY2 exhibited salt and drought tolerance compared with controls.
• Manipulation of TaWRKY2 and TaWRKY19 in wheat or other crops should improve their performance under various abiotic stress conditions.
• TaWRKY2 and TaWRKY19 may regulate stress tolerance through activation of STZ and DREB2A pathway, respectively.
