Plants respond to different pests and pathogens by activating
a set of resistance genes that involve in substantial transcriptional
reprogramming integrating hormonal, metabolic, and physiological movements.
These cumulative downstream defense responses alleviate
pathogen and pest by subsequent local or systemic induced resistance. Hormone signaling and trans-acting
regulatory factors/ Transcription factors (TFs) are the major factors that
facilitate downstream defense responses in plants.
Approximately, 7% of plant genome coding sequences represent
TFs. Among many different type of TFs available in plants, the most common TFs
mainly belong to six groups; AP2/ERF, MYB, BZIP, WRKY, MYC and NAC.
