Abstract
Due to abiotic stress and global climate change, agriculture crop production around the world has suffered huge loss. Developing stress-resilient crops through breeding techniques will provide high yield and quality under different environmental stresses. Current transgenic technologies can deliver promising results. Transcriptional factors (TFs) act as molecular switches in the regulation of genes that respond to stress during abiotic stress conditions. Several researchers have recognized different stress-responsive TFs belonging to WRKY, ERF/AP2, MYB, and NAC families responsible for inducing tolerance to abiotic stress. However, decoding stress-associated genes that control plant defense response against abiotic stresses is an essential step in developing resistant varieties. The expression of ABFs and MYCs is associated with jasmonic acid and abscisic acid signaling, illustrating its vital role in plant resistance to different abiotic stress. Here, we highlight the potential application for improving stress tolerance in plants and discuss the significance of breeding stress-resistant varieties.
