Resumen:
Plants, as sessile organisms, adapt to different stressful conditions,
such as drought, salinity, extreme temperatures, and nutrient
deficiency, via plastic developmental and growth responses. Depending on
the intensity and the developmental phase in which it is imposed, a
stress condition may lead to a broad range of responses at the
morphological, physiological, biochemical, and molecular levels.
Transcription factors are key components of regulatory networks that
integrate environmental cues and concert responses at the cellular
level, including those that imply a stressful condition. Despite the
fact that several studies have started to identify various members of
the MADS-box gene family as importantmolecular components involved in
different types of stress responses, we still lack an integrated view of
their role in these processes. In this review, we analyze the function
and regulation of MADS-box gene family members in response to drought,
salt, cold, heat, and oxidative stress conditions in different
developmental processes of several plants. In addition, we suggest that
MADS-box genes are key components of gene regulatory networks involved
in plant responses to stress and plant developmental plasticity in
response to seasonal changes in environmental conditions.
