Abstract

With global climate changes and the increased demand for food due to expected world population growth, genetic improvement programs have aimed at producing crops with increased yield and tolerance to environmental stresses, such as drought, salinity, and pathogens. On the other hand, genetic improvement programs via biotechnology require candidate genes that confer traits of interest to be incorporated into improved crops. In this regard, genes encoding transcription factors (TFs) can be promising since they are proteins that transcriptionally regulate the expression of target genes related to the most diverse roles in the plant, including defense against stresses. Among TFs, bZIP (basic leucine zipper) proteins regulate many developmental and physiological processes in the plant, such as seed formation, fruit ripening, nutrient assimilation, and defense response to abiotic and biotic stresses. In this review, we aim to highlight the main advances in the potential use of bZIP TFs in the genetic improvement of crops. We address this potential mainly regarding crop tolerance to stresses and other agricultural traits, such as increased yield and fruit features.

植物bZIP蛋白：在农业中的潜在应用——综述。

随着全球气候变化和预期的世界人口增长对粮食的需求增加，基因改良计划旨在生产产量更高、对干旱、盐度和病原体等环境压力更耐受的作物。另一方面，通过生物技术进行的遗传改良计划需要将赋予感兴趣性状的候选基因纳入改良作物中。在这方面，编码转录因子（TF）的基因可能是有前景的，因为它们是转录调节靶基因表达的蛋白质，靶基因在植物中的作用最为多样，包括抵御胁迫。在转录因子中，bZIP（碱性亮氨酸拉链）蛋白调节植物的许多发育和生理过程，如种子形成、果实成熟、营养同化以及对非生物和生物胁迫的防御反应。在这篇综述中，我们旨在强调bZIP转录因子在作物遗传改良中的潜在应用的主要进展。我们主要针对作物对胁迫的耐受性和其他农业性状，如产量和果实特性的提高来解决这一潜力。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
