Abstract
WRKY transcription factors (TFs) play crucial roles in responses to abiotic and biotic stresses that significantly impact plant growth and development. Advancements in molecular biology and sequencing technologies have elevated WRKY TF studies from merely determining expression patterns and functional characterization to uncovering molecular regulatory networks. Numerous WRKY TFs regulate drought tolerance in plants through various regulatory networks. This review details the physiological and molecular mechanisms of WRKY TFs regulating drought tolerance. The review focuses on the WRKY TFs involved in the phytohormone and metabolic pathways associated with the drought stress response and the multiple functions of these WRKY TFs, including biotic and abiotic stress responses and their participation in plant growth and development.
