Abstract

Abstract: The elaborate phytohormone regulating networks in plants and their crosstalk pathways play critical roles in adapting to various environmental stresses of plants. As the key regulators in gene expression, bZIP transcription factors control important processes in relation to plant biotic and abiotic stress responses. In this review, we firstly introduced the structure and functions of the bZIP transcription factors, expounded their regulation mechanism in several major hormone-mediated signaling pathways. Subsequently, we discussed the crosstalk pathways between different hormones and made a summary of the key crosstalk integrators in defense processes. The aim of this review was to illuminate plant hormone-mediated signal interactions under stress and provide theoretical bases for exploring and utilizing new resistance genes.

Key words: bZIP transcription factors, plant hormones, disease resistance, stress tolerance, signal regulation
