Genome-wide identification and expression profiling of WRKY gene family in grain Amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus L.) under salinity and drought stresses
The present study provides valuable insights into the organization and evolutionary patterns of the WRKY gene family in amaranth. It also identifies putative candidate WRKY genes that may play a role in conferring drought and salt tolerance. Overall, this study lays a foundation for further functional validation of these WRKY candidate genes, facilitating their exploitation in the amaranth genetic improvement programs to develop stress-resilient varieties.
