Genome-wide characterization of WRKY family genes in four araceae species and their expression analysis in Amorphophallus konjac
Among the 79 identified <i>AkWRKY</i> members, <i>AkWRKY38</i> and <i>53</i> exhibited high expression levels in <i>A. konjac</i> under hormone treatments, biotic stress (<i>Pcc</i> infection), and abiotic stresses (low temperature, drought, and salt stress). This study provided new insights into the roles of <i>WRKYs</i> in <i>A. konjac</i> responses to soft rot disease, low temperature, drought, and salt stress. Additionally, it laid a foundation for breeding stress-resistant <i>A. konjac</i> cultivars.
