Recent research has highlighted the involvement of various transcription factor families in regulating signal transduction in plant SA, ET and JA pathways responding to different pathogen infections, such as WRKY (WRKY domain-containing transcription factors) family, MYB (v-myb avian myeloblastosis viral oncogene homolog) family, and ERF (thylene responsive factors) family (Liu et al., 2021; Gao et al., 2022; Zhou et al., 2022). Here, MYB is linked to infection.
