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. date: 2013 date_type: published volume: 2 publisher: Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
