Description
Yuan Li and co-authors review master stress switches in plants in this 2025 paper. Heat shock transcription factors switch on protective proteins when plants overheat. New research shows these switches do far more than handle heat. They help plants ride out drought, cold, salt, and even germs. The review pulls this wider picture together.
The switches trade signals with plant hormones and with oxygen-based alarm molecules. Kinase pathways also tune their activity. Gene editing and smart gene switches could harness them in crops. Tuning one switch might raise tolerance to several stresses at once. The authors see these factors as central hubs for breeding climate-ready crops.
