Putative stress-responsive VaWRKY and VrWRKY proteins. The tree was created with MEGA 6.0 tool by the Neighbor-Joining (NJ) method with 1,000 bootstrap replicates. The AtWRKY, OsWRKY and GmWRKY proteins reported to be involved in various stress-responses, used as reference, were indicated by red closed circle, green closed square and yellow closed triangle, respectively. Their respective homologs in VaWRKY and VrWRKY family clustered with them forming distinct clades (indicated in different colors).
