Genome-wide identification of WRKY transcription factor family members in Miscanthus sinensis (Miscanthus sinensis Anderss).

Miscanthus is an emerging sustainable bioenergy crop whose growing environment is subject to many abiotic and biological stresses. WRKY transcription factors play an important role in stress response and growth of biotic and abiotic. To clarify the distribution and expression of the WRKY genes in Miscanthus, it is necessary to classify and phylogenetically analyze the WRKY genes in Miscanthus.
