ORIGINAL RESEARCH published: 17 October 2016 doi: 10.3389/fpls.2016.01541 Ectopic Expression of JcWRKY Transcription Factor Confers Salinity Tolerance via Salicylic Acid Signaling Parinita Agarwal 1 *, Mitali Dabi 1,2, Komal K. Sapara 1,2, Priyanka S. Joshi 1,2 and Pradeep K. Agarwal 1,2 1 Plant Omics Division, Central Salt and Marine Chemicals Research Institute (CSIR) – Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, Bhavnagar, India, 2 Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research, Central Salt and Marine Chemicals Research Institute –Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, Bhavnagar, India Plants, being sessile, have developed intricate signaling network to specifically respond to the diverse environmental stress. The plant-specific WRKY TFs form one of the largest TF family and are involved in diverse plant processes, involving growth, development and stress signaling through auto and cross regulation with different genes and TFs. Here, we report the functional characterization of a salicylic acid -inducible JcWRKY TF.
