The cotton WRKY transcription factor (GhWRKY33) reduces transgenic Arabidopsis resistance to drought stress

Abstract As the important source of natural fibers in the textile industry, cotton fiber quality and yield are often restricted to drought conditions because most of cotton plants in the world grow in the regions with water shortage. WRKY transcription factors regulate multiple plant physiological p...
