Transcription repressor. Interacts specifically with the W box (5'-(T)TGAC[CT]-3'), a frequently occurring elicitor-responsive cis-acting element (PubMed:23462973). Regulates, probably indirectly, the activation of defense-related genes during defense response (By similarity). Modulates plant innate immunity against X.oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) (PubMed:21961049). Regulates negatively the basal defense responses to the compatible fungus M.oryzae (PubMed:23462973, PubMed:21726398). Induced by biotic elicitors (e.g. fungal chitin oligosaccharide) (PubMed:23462973). Accumulates in response to M.oryzae (PubMed:21726398). The WRKY domain is required to bind DNA. Increased basal resistance to rice blast mediated by M.oryzae. Belongs to the WRKY group II-a family. Truncated N-terminus. Truncated N-terminus. Truncated N-terminus. Truncated N-terminus.
