In addition to the presence of classic WRKY TFs in plants, the present study revealed the presence of novel WRKY TFs. These novel- WRKY TFs are as follows: (A) WRKY TFs with three WRKY domains (GrWRKY12, GrWRKY21-5, LuWRKY3-7), (B) WRKY TFs with four WRKY domains (AcWRKY1, SlWRKY4-2), (C) WRKY TFs with three WRKY domains followed by a ZF_SBP TF domain (LuWRKY3-5, LuWRKY3-6), (D) WRKY domain followed by three calcium binding CBS domains (BrWRKY36-2), (E) kinase domain followed by one WRKY domain (FvWRKY59), (F) kinase domain followed by two WRKY domains (PhWRKY59), (G) two WRKY domains followed by a kinase domain (BrWRKY58-1, BrWRKY58-2), (H) PAH domain followed by two WRKY domain and kinase domain (AtWRKY19), (I) protease domain followed by a WRKY domain (OsWRKY57, PvWRKY57-1, SbWRKY57), (J) TIR domain followed by WRKY domain (FvWRKY52, GmWRKY55-3), (K) TIR domain followed by a WRKY domain twice (FvWRKY70-7), (L) TIR domain followed by a LRR domain and a WRKY domain (FvWRKY16), (M) LRR and NAC domain followed by two WRKY domains (SbWRKY59), (N) ATP_GRASP domain followed by a WRKY domain (AlWRKY16), (O) B3 domain followed by a WRKY domain (PvWRKY94-1), and (P) WRKY domain followed by a ZF_SBP domain (SiWRKY59-2).
