Regulation of<i>WRKY</i>genes in plant defence with beneficial fungus<i>Trichoderma</i>: current perspectives and future prospects

Abstract

In various environmental condition plants continually face abiotic and biotic stresses that can cause harmful effects on plants. To overcome stress, some transcription factors act as activators or repressors like WRKY, which reprogramme their transcriptome quickly. This review stated the transcriptional regulation and molecular networks for WRKYs defence signalling during Arabidopsis–Trichoderma interaction. In this sense, the regulation of transcriptome through WRKY transcription suggests an intricate signalling system in this beneficial plant–microbe interaction.
