A comprehensive overview of transcription factors (WRKY, NAC and BZIP) in plants
Abstract
Transcription factors are involved in the regulation of transcriptional reprogramming associated with the plants stress responses. Large number of transcriptional factors has been identified so far, which are involved in defense responses in plants against certain biotic and abiotic stresses. These transcription factors are divided according to their DNA binding domains (DBDs) in plants that are believed to be distinct from prokaryotes and other lineages of eukaryotes. Recently, identification and characterization of large number of important transcription factors have been performed. In addition, structure of some important DBDs have also been elaborated in detail utilizing techniques such as NMR spectroscopy or X-ray crystallography. This review is about a comprehensive overview on the structure and role of some transcription factors in plants. This publication will provide information in plant transcription factors, including the important aspects and unifying themes to understand transcription factors and the important roles of particular families in specific processes.
