Abstract Plants encounter a wide range of biotic and abiotic environmental stresses throughout their lifespan. To adapt survive, they have evolved complex defense mechanisms that involve the production secondary metabolites (SMs), which play critical roles in enhancing plant resilience. These bioactive compounds function as deterrents to herbivores, barriers against pathogens, protectants oxidative stress. regulate synthesis accumulation (SMs) response various factors such drought, salinity, cold, heat, heavy metals, UV-B radiation. stress conditions can significantly alter SM levels part plant's adaptive response. Transcription (TFs) are essential mediators this process, regulating gene expression involved biosynthesis. By interacting with signaling pathways, TFs fine-tune mechanisms, ensuring timely specific SMs mitigate impacts. This review provides comprehensive examination influence on plants under both conditions.

Phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) induces anthocyanin biosynthesis; however, the underlying molecular mechanism is less known. In this study, we found that apple MYB transcription factor MdMYB1 activated biosynthesis in response to ABA. Using a yeast screening technique, isolated MdbZIP44, an ABA-induced bZIP apple, as co-partner with MdMYB1. MdbZIP44 promoted accumulation ABA by enhancing binding of promoters downstream target genes. Furthermore, identified MdBT2, BTB protein, MdbZIP44-interacting protein. A series molecular, biochemical, and genetic analysis suggested MdBT2 degraded protein through Ubiquitin-26S proteasome system, thus inhibiting MdbZIP44-modulated biosynthesis. Taken together, reveal novel working MdbZIP44-mediated

In this review, we survey recent progress identification repressors characterization their molecular mechanisms. We find seemingly very modules act through remarkably similar logic, so-called 'double-negative logic'. Much double-negative production involves signal-induced degradation or sequestration from MBW complex. discuss functional evolutionary advantages logic design compared with simple sequential positive regulation. These provide plausible explanation as why plants have evolved so many repressors.
