Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb086280
• Gene Symbol: ZmWRKY17 wrky105
• Gene Name: WRKY-transcription factor 105
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• The maize WRKY transcription factor ZmWRKY17 negatively regulates salt stress tolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis plants.
• We cloned and characterized the ZmWRKY17 gene from maize. Overexpression of ZmWRKY17 in Arabidopsis led to increased sensitivity to salt stress and decreased ABA sensitivity through regulating the expression of some ABA- and stress-responsive genes.
• ZmWRKY17 transgenic plants showed decreased sensitivity to ABA during seed germination and early seedling growth.
• ZmWRKY17 negatively regulates salt stress tolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis plants.
