“…In our study, 23 structural genes and four kinds of TFs, including MYB, BZIP, BHLH, and GRAS, were obtained. These TFs have been widely validated, playing important regulatory roles in many aspects of plant growth and development, signal transduction, and secondary metabolism [61]. Thus, our result shows that the development of sweet cherry fruit is a very complex process involving the regulation of abundant genes.…”

The ERF subfamily, a significant part of the APETALA2/ethylene-responsive element-binding factor (AP2/ERF) transcription family, plays a crucial role in plant growth, development, and stress responses. Despite its importance, research on this gene family in sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) is limited. This study identified and analyzed the sweet cherry ERF subfamily in terms of classification, physicochemical properties, structural characteristics, chromosome distribution, gene replication and collinearity, Cis-acting elements, and potential protein interactions. Preliminary investigations of transcription during fruit cracking and normal development were also conducted. Fifty ERFs (PatiERF1~50) were identified, distributed unevenly across eight chromosomes and classified into ten groups with nineteen conserved motifs. Collinearity analysis with other plant species revealed homology, with the highest number of ERF orthologous genes found in apple (Malus domestica L.). Cis-acting elements, particularly abscisic acid response factor, were abundant in PatiERF promoters. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) and quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) analysis indicated the involvement of PatiERFs in sweet cherry fruit development and cracking, and nine and four significant candidates related to these processes were speculated, respectively. Furthermore, four other classes of transcription factors (TFs), namely MYB, GRAS, BHLH, and BZIP, as well as 23 structure genes, were predicted to have co-expression and interaction relationships with PatiERFs during fruit development. This suggests their potential synergistic regulation with ERFs in the cherry fruit development process. Our study represents the first comprehensive genome-wide analysis of the ERF subfamily in sweet cherry, laying a crucial foundation for a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms correlated with fruit growth, development, and cracking mediated by ERF genes.

“…Both KEGG and GO enrichment analysis showed that there were significant differences in the development of female and male flowers in dioecious spinach ( Supplementary Data S1, Supplementary Figure S2 ). TFs play pivotal roles in various aspects of plant growth and development [ 29 ]. A considerable number of TFs identified in our study seemed to be associated with roles in spinach flower identity, determination, and development ( Figure 7 ).…”

Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) is a dioecious, diploid, wind-pollinated crop cultivated worldwide. Sex determination plays an important role in spinach breeding. Hence, this study aimed to understand the differences in sexual differentiation and floral organ development of dioecious flowers, as well as the differences in the regulatory mechanisms of floral organ development of dioecious and monoecious flowers. We compared transcriptional-level differences between different genders and identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to spinach floral development, as well as sex-biased genes to investigate the flower development mechanisms in spinach. In this study, 9189 DEGs were identified among the different genders. DEG analysis showed the participation of four main transcription factor families, MIKC_MADS, MYB, NAC, and bHLH, in spinach flower development. In our key findings, abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellic acid (GA) signal transduction pathways play major roles in male flower development, while auxin regulates both male and female flower development. By constructing a gene regulatory network (GRN) for floral organ development, core transcription factors (TFs) controlling organ initiation and growth were discovered. This analysis of the development of female, male, and monoecious flowers in spinach provides new insights into the molecular mechanisms of floral organ development and sexual differentiation in dioecious and monoecious plants in spinach.

“…TFIID binds to the TATA region located 20-25 nucleotides upstream to the transcriptional initiation site with the help of TATA binding protein (TBP) and assemble other GTFs along with RNA polymerase [31]. Specific transcription factors (STFs) binds to cisregulatory elements (enhancer and repressors sequence) of the gene promotor and regulate the rate of transcription [32]. These regulatory regions (activators and repressor DNA sequence) that governs the transcription rates exists proximal to the sites where transcription initiates [33].…”

This study delves into the pivotal role of transcription factors (TFs) in orchestrating plant adaptation to abiotic stress, a critical aspect of plant biology with profound implications for agriculture and environmental sustainability. Through an in-depth exploration, key aspects of TF-mediated abiotic stress responses were examined, including the identification of stress-responsive TFs, their regulatory networks, and mechanisms of action. Additionally, the study elucidated the integration of TFs with stress signalling pathways and their modulation of physiological and biochemical responses to environmental challenges. The importance of understanding TFs in abiotic stress response was underscored, emphasizing their potential for engineering stress-tolerant crops and advancing sustainable agricultural practices. Furthermore, the implications of TF-mediated stress responses for agriculture and environmental sustainability were discussed, highlighting opportunities to enhance crop resilience and mitigate the impact of climate change on global food security. Overall, this study sheds light on the intricate interplay between TFs and abiotic stress adaptation mechanisms, offering valuable insights for future research and practical applications in agriculture and environmental management. This review paper solely discusses about Transcription factors and their domains, WKRY, MYB and NAC families and their involvement in abiotic stress.
