ABSTRACT
One of the main plant protein superfamilies is comprised of the WRKY transcription factor (TF). Plant stress responses are linked to transcriptional reprogramming, which is regulated in part by the WRKY TF gene family. Alterations in the ways that WRKY genes express themselves or alter how they function; take part in the development of several signaling pathways and regulatory networks. The development of gametes, seed germination, post-germination growth, stem elongation, root hair growth, leaf senescence, flowering period, and plant height are all influenced by WRKY proteins. Furthermore, they are important in a variety of environmental signals, such as those related to biotic stressors, temperature, salinity, drought, and cold. This review will refine reader knowledge about the role of the WRKY transcription factor that switches to tolerate the drought, temperature, and salinity stress in plants.
