Excellent- More about Transcription Factors for Biotic Stress Tolerance in Plants
Crop plants are facing biotic stresses, and regulatory genes play a vital role in signal transduction. Transcription factors such as WRKY, NAC, Whirly, AP2, and ERF are associated with transcriptional reprogramming of plant defense response and are responsive to pathogens PAMPs/DAMPs. This book discusses the recent research and developments in this field for various crops.

Climate change is causing a wide range of biotic stresses to affect crop plants. These stresses can have a significant impact on crop yields and quality. Regulatory genes play a crucial role in responding to these stresses by regulating the expression of genes that underpin defense pathways. Targeting transcription factors (TFs) that regulate these defense genes can be an effective approach to developing disease-resistant crops.
Numerous transcription factors have been identified and characterized in plants. Some of the most well-known TF families include WRKY, NAC, Whirly, AP2, and ERF. These TF families are associated with transcriptional reprogramming of plant defense responses. They are responsive to pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and bind to the cis-elements of defense genes to regulate their expression.
Understanding the importance of TFs in resistance breeding has led to significant research and developments in this field. Researchers have identified new TFs that are involved in plant defense responses and have developed techniques to manipulate their expression to enhance disease resistance. These techniques include gene editing technologies such as CRISPR-Cas9 and transgenic approaches.
In conclusion, the role of TFs in regulating plant defense responses is crucial for developing disease-resistant crops. With ongoing research and technological advancements, it is possible to improve crop yields and quality by targeting TFs and developing new strategies for disease management.
