ABSTRACT

Transcription factors (TFs) belong to one of the most extensively studied groups of proteins by various research groups across the globe. It describes scenarios of various abiotic stress-induced TFs. The chapter provides a generalized role of TFs in normal conditions. TFs, the key to gene regulation, can declare to be the worthy objectives to deal with issues like plant growth, yield, quality and environmental concerns at the genomic level. TFs serve as the principal factors such that a singular transcription factor can control the expression of a single gene, but also a single TF may confer regulating numerous genes. Cells possess a variety of strategies to regulate transcription factors, and all of the strategies for regulation of TFs are dependent upon the interacting signals, and molecular interactions at the cellular level play a vital role. TFs are vital components of plant cell signaling, especially linked with genome for gene expression.
