Genome-wide characterization and analysis of WRKY transcription factors in Panax ginseng
Abstract Background Panax ginseng is a well-known medicinal plant worldwide. As an herbal medicine, ginseng is also known for its long lifecycle, which can reach several decades. WRKY proteins play regulatory roles in many aspects of biological processes in plants, such as responses to biotic or abi...
