WRKY transcription factors (TFs) play important roles in plant growth and development and responses to abiotic and biotic stresses. Since the initial isolation of a WRKY TF in Ipomoea batatas in 1994, WRKY TFs have been identified in plants, protozoa, and fungi. Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) is a key oil and protein crop for humans and a forage source for animal consumption. Several Arachis genomes have been sequenced and genome-wide WRKY TFs have been identified. In this review, we summarized WRKY TFs and their functions in A. hypogaea and its donors. We also standardized the nomenclature for Arachis WRKY TFs to ensure uniformity. We determined the evolutionary relationships between Arachis and Arabidopsis thaliana WRKY (AtWRKY) TFs using a phylogenetic analysis. Biological functions and regulatory networks of Arachis WRKY TFs were predicted using AtWRKY TFs. Thus, this review paves the way for studies of Arachis WRKY TFs.
WRKY转录因子在植物生长发育以及对非生物和生物胁迫的响应中发挥着重要作用。自1994年首次从甘薯中分离出WRKY转录因子以来，已在植物、原生动物和真菌中鉴定出WRKY转录因子。花生是人类重要的油料和蛋白质作物，也是动物食用的饲料来源。多个花生基因组已被测序，全基因组范围内的WRKY转录因子也已被鉴定出来。在本综述中，我们总结了WRKY转录因子及其在花生及其供体中的功能。我们还规范了花生WRKY转录因子的命名，以确保一致性。我们使用系统发育分析确定了花生与拟南芥WRKY（AtWRKY）转录因子之间的进化关系。利用AtWRKY转录因子预测了花生WRKY转录因子的生物学功能和调控网络。因此，本综述为花生WRKY转录因子的研究铺平了道路。
