Abstract:
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins are involved in numerous biological processes, including signal transduction, cell cycle regulation, growth and development, and stress responses. WRKY transcription factors (TFs) play significant roles in plant growth, development, and responses to both biotic and abiotic stresses, making them one of the largest and most vital TF families in plants. Recent studies have increasingly highlighted the importance of PTMs of WRKY TFs in various life processes. This review focuses on the recent advancements in understanding the phosphorylation and ubiquitination of WRKY TFs, particularly their roles in resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses and in plant growth and development. Future research directions and prospects in this field are also discussed.
