Abstract Andrographis paniculata (A. paniculata) is a Chinese herbal medicine that clears away heat, reduces
inflammation, protects the liver, and promotes choleretics. The WRKYs of A. paniculata are still not well
characterized, although many WRKYs have been identified in various plant species. In the present study, 59 A.
paniculata WRKY (ApWRKY) genes were identified and renamed on the basis of their respective chromosome
distribution. These ApWRKYs were divided into three groups via phylogenetic analysis according to their WRKY
domains and combined with WRKY of Arabidopsis. The 59 identified ApWRKY transcription factors were nonuniformity distributed on 23 chromosomes of A. paniculata. From the structural… More >
