Rice OSWRKY24 transcription activator is upregulated in response to submergence during seed germination and coleoptile growth. It interacts specifically with the W box (5'-(T)TGAC[CT]-3'), a frequently occurring elicitor-responsive cis-acting element (PubMed:19199048, PubMed:26025535). Negative regulator of both gibberellic acid (GA) and abscisic acid (ABA) signaling in aleurone cells, probably by interfering with GAM1, via the specific repression of GA- and ABA-induced promoters (PubMed:15618416, PubMed:19199048, PubMed:26025535). Expressed in mostly aleurone cells and embryos within the seeds (PubMed:15618416). Also, shows low expression in leaves, roots, and panicles (PubMed:26025535). It is Induced by abscisic acid (ABA) in aleurone cells, embryos, roots and leaves (PubMed:15618416, PubMed:19199048) and down-regulated by gibberellic acid (GA) (PubMed:15618416). Accumulates in response to jasmonic acid (MeJA). Asexpected tevels of transcripts drop rapidly but transiently in the embryos of imbibed seeds.
