WRKY TFs identified from the sequenced genomes of A. trichopoda, A. thaliana, C. annuum, O. sativa, S. lycopersicum, S. tuberosum, and U. gibba. C. roseus and R. serpentina WRKY TFs were identified from transcriptome sequences in the MPGR database. Complete and partial WRKY domain containing proteins were identified using the NCBI Conserved Domain Database. The presence of WRKY domains were manually verified and phylogenetic analyses were conducted to determine WRKY subgroups for each of the species.
