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.
