Rice WRKY11 Plays a Role in Pathogen Defense and Drought Tolerance.

Background: Plants are frequently subjected to abiotic and biotic stresses, and WRKY proteins play a pivotal role in the response to such stress. OsWRKY11 is induced by pathogens, drought, and heat, suggesting a function in biotic and abiotic stress responses.

Results: This study identified OsWRKY11, a member of WRKY group IIc.
