Abstract:

Heat shock transcription factors(HSFs),as a type of transcription factor widely present in plants,are responsive to a variety of abiotic stresses. The HSFs at the end of the heat stress responses regulate the expressions of heat shock proteins by binding heat shock elements to forming a complex with other transcription factors,thereby participating in the regulation of plant resistance to abiotic stresses. Here,we summarized the typical structure of heat shock transcription factors in Oryza sativa,their functions and mechanisms in regulating resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses,and other functions in O. sativa,aiming to provide a reference for further dissecting the functions and mechanisms of HSFs and their application in breeding O. sativa’s resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses.

Key words: heat shock transcription factor, Oryza sativa, abiotic stress, disease resistance
