Plant Transcription Factors
Plant Transcription Factors
Transcription factors are proteins that regulate gene expression by binding to specific DNA sequences, thus playing a crucial role in plant development and stress responses. They activate or repress the transcription of target genes, enabling plants to adapt to environmental changes. Families of transcription factors, such as MYB, bZIP, and NAC, are involved in growth, metabolism, and defense mechanisms. For instance, the WRKY family regulates responses to biotic and abiotic stresses, while AP2/ERF factors are pivotal in developmental processes and stress adaptation. Understanding transcription factors helps researchers engineer crops with improved traits, such as disease resistance and drought tolerance.
