Abstract
The key influencing factor affecting plant growth and reproduction is adverse environmental stress, which poses serious threats to global agriculture development and crop productivity. Abiotic stress comprises of nonliving factors that negatively affect crop productivity in a defined environment. The nonliving variables affect the physiology of the organism beyond normal environmental conditions. In maize, transcriptional factors’ functions are very important in response to abiotic stress especially on growth and development, as well as on morphogenesis by contributing to enhanced stress tolerance. The aim of this chapter is to compile a list of the most important transcriptional factors in maize, as well as their regulatory networks in response to abiotic stress. The transcriptional factors are expected to significantly enrich the functional gene resources and will be beneficial to the breeding of stress-tolerant maize cultivars.
