Abstract

Abstract: Transcription factor is a kind of proteins which bind to the cis element region of the promoters specifically and a kind of transcription regulatory factors, and it is also one of the biggest gene families in plants. Many transcription factors can regulate the expression of downstream genes, and play important roles on plant growth and development, morphogenesis, hormone adjustment, and resistance to a variety of biological and abiotic stress. In combination with the research progress of transcription factors in recent years, we have summarized main strategies and methods of transcription factors to the abiotic stress, including the transcription factor domain structure, subcellular localization and transcriptional activation, transcription factor complex and functions of transcription factors, to provide related research theories and methods to plant transcription factors for reference.

Key words: abiotic stress, transcription factor, transient expression, transcriptional activation, transgenic plants
