Key message Here, we reviewed major transcription factors of maize that confer drought
stress tolerance, and their target genes and involved signaling pathway. Transcription …

Abiotic stressors such as drought, low temperature, heavy metals, waterlogging, nutrient
imbalance, and salinity are major factors that affect the growth and development of crop …

The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) play critical roles
in mediating abiotic stress responses in plants. It is well known that ABA is involved in the …

Main conclusion ABP9, encoding a bZIP transcription factor from maize, enhances tolerance
to multiple stresses and may participate in the ABA signaling pathway in transgenic cotton …

The basic region/leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors (TF s) play vital roles in the
response to abiotic stress. However, little is known about the function of bZIP genes in wheat …

The effects of water deficits (WD), heat shock (HS), and both (HSWD) on photosynthetic
carbon-and light-use efficiencies together with leaf ABA content, pigment composition and …

Plants grown under abiotic stress conditions such as salinity, drought, cold, or heat display a
variety of molecular, biochemical, and physiological changes including excessive …

Highlights•Salt-induced TabZIP8, 9, 13 expressions were impaired by Ca 2+ blocker LaCl
3.•TaCDPK9-1 could interact with TabZIP8, 9, 13 TFs through yeast two-hybrid assay.•Salt …

Abiotic stresses disrupt protein folding and induce endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, which
in turn activates the unfolded protein response (UPR) to aid in the refolding or degradation …

Adverse environmental conditions cause endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in plants. To
mitigate ER stress damage, ER associated transcription factors and inositol-requiring …
