MYB transcription factor genes as regulators for plant responses: an overview

TLDR
MYB TFs are reviewed with particular emphasis on their role in controlling different biological processes to provide valuable insights in understanding regulatory networks and associated functions to develop strategies for crop improvement.
Abstract
Regulation of gene expression at the level of transcription controls many crucial biological processes. Transcription factors (TFs) play a great role in controlling cellular processes and MYB TF family is large and involved in controlling various processes like responses to biotic and abiotic stresses, development, differentiation, metabolism, defense etc. Here, we review MYB TFs with particular emphasis on their role in controlling different biological processes. This will provide valuable insights in understanding regulatory networks and associated functions to develop strategies for crop improvement.

Molecular responses to dehydration and low temperature: differences and cross-talk between two stress signaling pathways.

TL;DR: Recently, a major transcription system that controls abscisic-acid-independent gene expression in response to dehydration and low temperature has been identified and it includes the DRE/CRT (dehydration-responsive element/C-repeat) cis-acting element and its DNA-bindingprotein, DREB/CBF (DRE-binding protein/ C-repeat binding factor).
