Transcription Factors Regulating Nutrient and Ion Uptake in Plants Exposed to Abiotic and Biotic Stress Conditions.

Transcription factors integrate abiotic and biotic stress signals to regulate nutrient and ion homeostasis in plants, coordinating expression of transporters and channels to support uptake under stress.

• Why it matters: Stress disrupts nutrient and ion homeostasis, limiting plant growth and productivity; TF-centered regulatory networks are key to linking stress perception with nutrient management.
• What they did: This review synthesizes evidence that TF families such as AP2/ERF, NAC, MYB, and bZIP are regulated via ROS, phytohormones, and second messengers, then modulate genes for nutrient transporters, ion channels, and detoxification proteins.
• The result: TFs including NLP7, HY5, and STOP1 are highlighted for roles in nitrate, phosphate, and metal homeostasis, but TFs governing nutrient transport under combined stresses remain limited.
