Fig. 7From: Overexpression of a cell wall damage induced transcription factor, OsWRKY42, leads to enhanced callose deposition and tolerance to salt stress but does not enhance tolerance to bacterial infectionOsWRKY42 is a negative regulator of JA mediated stress responses. Overexpression of OsWRKY42 downregulates the expression of JA biosynthesis and responsive genes induced after treatment with either salt or any one of several different cell wall degrading enzymes (CWDEs). This results in enhanced tolerance to salt stress and in the dampening of JA mediated defense responses that are induced following cell wall damageBack to article page
