WRKY proteins are plant specific transcription factors involved in various developmental and physiological processes, especially in biotic and abiotic stress resistance. Although previous studies suggested that WRKY proteins in soybean ( Glycine max  var. Williams 82) involved in both abiotic and biotic stress responses, the global information of WRKY proteins in the latest version of soybean genome (Wm82.a2v1) and their response to dehydration and salt stress have not been reported. In this study, we identified 176 GmWRKY proteins from soybean Wm82.a2v1 genome. These proteins could be classified into three groups, namely group I (32 proteins), group II (120 proteins), and group III (24 proteins). Our results showed that most  GmWRKY  genes were located on Chromosome 6, while chromosome 11, 12, and 20 contained the least number of this gene family. More  GmWRKY  genes were distributed on the ends of chromosomes to compare with other regions. The  cis -acting elements analysis suggested that  GmWRKY  genes were transcriptionally regulated upon dehydration and salt stress. RNA-seq data analysis indicated that three  GmWRKY  genes responded negatively to dehydration, and 12 genes positively responded to salt stress at 1, 6, and 12 h, respectively. We confirmed by qRT-PCR that the expression of  GmWRKY47  and  GmWRKY 58  genes was decreased upon dehydration, and the expression of  GmWRKY92, 144  and  165  genes was increased under salt treatment.
