Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: None
• RAPdb gene ID: Os12g0116100
• Gene Symbol: OsWRKY114
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• 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.
• These results indicate that OsWRKY114 confers broad-spectrum resistance not only to Xoo but also to F.
• In this study, we revealed that OsWRKY114 enhances innate immunity in rice against the fungal pathogen Fusarium fujikuroi, which is the causal agent of bakanae disease.
• However, it is not known whether OsWRKY114 is involved in defense responses to other pathogens.
• OsWRKY114 Is a Player in Rice Immunity against Fusarium fujikuroi.
