Roles of WRKY transcription factors in regulating leaf senescence
WRKY is a kind of plant-specific transcription factor.Due to the large number of members,WRKY transcription factors belong to one of the largest family in plants.WRKY transcription factors are involved in almost all the growth and development regulation processes in plants.Senescence is the last stage of the life cycle of plant leaves and the necessary physiological process of leaves.This process is mainly reg-ulated by a variety of factors including transcription factors.Lots of studies have shown that WRKY tran-scription factors are widely involved in the regulation of leaf senescence caused by various factors.Based on recent studies on the regulation of plant aging process by WRKY transcription factors,the different reg-ulatory roles of WRKY transcription factors and the corresponding signal transduction pathways in leaf se-nescence were concluded in this review.It will provide theoretical support for further research on the regu-latory mechanism of leaf senescence mediated by WRKY.
