Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os01g53260
• RAPdb gene ID: Os01g0734000
• Gene Symbol: OsWRKY23
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• Under biotic and abiotic stresses treatments, OsWRKY23 was markedly induced by continuous-dark-induced leaf senescence and infection by rice pathogen Pyricularia oryzae Cav as well as salicylic acid (SA).
• Under normal growth conditions, OsWRKY23 expressed exclusively in roots and senescing leaves.
• Heterologous expression of OsWRKY23 gene enhances pathogen defense and dark-induced leaf senescence in Arabidopsis.
• Furthermore, over-expression of OsWRKY23 accelerated leaf senescence in darkness.
• In conclusion, these results suggest that OsWRKY23 is a novel modulator of pathogen responses as well as dark-induced leaf senescence.
