Salinity stress among all abiotic stresses is a major environmental impediment for plants because it limits yield of economically and nutritionally crucial crops as well as restricts use of arable lands. Molecular mechanisms within plant cell plus macromolecules driving such mechanisms are fundamental elements in shaping stress-tolerance in plants. Transcription factor(s) (TF or TFs) are one of such core biomolecules that regulate signaling pathways through modulating transcriptional activities of specific response-eliciting genes. In wheat, major TF families responsive to salinity stress are MYB, WRKY, bHLH, NAC, bZIP, and AP2/ERF. Characterizing these TFs, determining their functional genomics, and dissecting downstream components interacting with these TFs are essential to understand salinity response mechanisms in wheat and ultimately can be helpful for producing salt-tolerant varieties. This chapter is aimed to demonstrate detailed overview of such TFs that are promising in attaining salinity tolerance in wheat. |
