Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os11g02520
• RAPdb gene ID: Os11g0117400
• Gene Symbol: OsWRKY89
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• 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.
