Nannf., a perennial herbaceous species in the family Campanulaceae, is widely used in traditional medicine for its dried roots. Drought stress severely constrains both the yield and the accumulation of bioactive compounds in this species. In this study, we performed a genome-wide identification and phylogenetic analysis of the WRKY TF (TF) family in\n                    <jats:italic>C. pilosula<\/jats:italic>\n                    , identifying 49 members that were classified into seven subfamilies.

Furthermore, yeast one-hybrid (Y1H) and dual-luciferase reporter (DLR) assays demonstrated that the abscisic acid (ABA) receptor CpPYR\/PYL activated the\n                    <jats:italic>CpWRKY8<\/jats:italic>\n                    promoter in heterologous systems.
