Molecular Responses of Plant Due to Stress Induced by Salt

Numerous changes in environmental conditions are becoming the main cause of plant stress in the current scenario. Abiotic stress is the most concerning among those as it may affect the efficiency of crops, decrease the plant yield, deteriorate the quality of the crop, its vigour and might affect plant germination too. The regulation of these effects comprises transcriptional factors, that control expression of a gene by requisite to an explicit supporter of DNA sequences. The responses due to stress-induced by salt involves transcription factors viz. AP2/EREBP, bZIP/HDZIPs, myb proteins, putative zinc finger proteins, leucine zipper DNA binding proteins and DRE-associated binding aspects. Principally, AP2/ERF domain proteins consist of DREB or CBF proteins binding to C-repeats or dehydration response elements (DRE). These transcription factors are prevailing to aim for the genetic resistance towards abiotic stress in crops.
