Molecular mechanism of ZmWRKY36 mediated maize resistance to Bipolaris maydis
These results demonstrate that transcription factor ZmWRKY36 positively regulates maize resistance to B. maydis and identify its potential downstream target genes. This study provides insights into the regulatory role of ZmWRKY36 in maize defense responses and lays a foundation for further dissecting WRKY-mediated disease resistance networks in maize.
