With the erratic changes in climate, crop plants are facing many
forms of biotic stresses. When plants are under stress, among
several gene families, regulatory genes play a vital role in signal
transduction in modulating the expression of genes underpinning
several defense pathways and targeting regulatory proteins (viz,
transcription factors (TFs)) can be the alternative. Transcription
factors directly regulate the downstream R genes and are excellent
candidates for disease resistance breeding. Till date, numerous
transcription factors have been identified and characterized
structurally and functionally. Of them, TF families such as WRKY,
NAC, Whirly, Apetala2 (AP2), ethylene responsive elements (ERF)
etc. are found to be associated with transcriptional reprogramming
of plant defense response. These TFs are responsive to the
pathogen's PAMPs/DAMPs - host's PRR protein interactions and
specifically binds to the cis-elements of defense genes and
regulate their expression. With this background, realizing the
importance of TFs in resistance breeding, this book discusses the
recent research and developments in this field for various crops.
