Abstract  

Transcription factors binding to cis-elements can regulate series of downstream gene expression. The over-expression of a disease-resistance transcription factor in plants which can improve comprehensive disease resistance by means of genetic engineering correspond to transgenic a number of resistance genes. They have become a research hotspot in recent years. Five families of transcription factors that are related to disease resistance (AP2/EREBP, MYB, WRKY, bZIP and homeodomain) were introduced, and their protein structure, functional properties, regulation mechanisms, their research progress on gene engineering of diseases resistances in plants, their applications were discussed.
