Agricultural production and quality are adversely affected by multiple abiotic stresses worldwide
and this will be exacerbated by the deterioration of global climate. Therefore, it is urgently
needed to develop tolerant cultivars to ensure yields under such adverse conditions. In this
scenario, it is widely urged that strategies showed be adapted which may be used to get maximum
crop stand and economic returns from abiotic stresses (drought and salinity). There are various
strategies reported for abiotic stresses tolerance but two main strategies have been employed
to this process. In this literature, we take five large families of TFs as examples and review the
recent progress of TFs involved in plant various environmental stress responses and their
potential utilization to improve multiple stress tolerance of crops in the field conditions and
also explain some technological advances and different approachesof crop improvements that
may help in developing cultivated stress tolerant plant.
