N2  - The major abiotic stresses, such as drought, extreme temperatures, and salinity, are
responsible for huge losses in agricultural production. Abiotic stresses induce
various biochemical and physiological responses in plants, and absdsic acid (ABA),
a plant hormone, plays important roles in the responses. Various stress-responsive
genes can be expressed under environmental stresses either through an ABAdependent
or ABA-independent pathway, and various stress signals and ABA share
common elements. Both ABA-dependent and ABA-independent signal transduction
pathways from stress signal perception to gene expression involve different
teanscriptionJfactors.-The. maj.or_ transcription factors involved in abiotic stress
response are bZIP proteins, MYB-like proteins, MYC-Kke bHLH proteins, HD-ZIP
proteins, and AP2/EREBP proteins. This chapter provides an extensive review of
the AP2/EREBP transcription factors and their potential for abiotic stress tolerance
in crops.
