Аннотация:Abiotic and biotic stress factors seriously affect plant growth and development. The processof plant response to abiotic stress involves the synergistic action of multiple resistance genes. TheASR (Abscisic acid stress-ripening) gene is a plant-specific transcription factor that plays a central rolein regulating plant senescence, fruit ripening, and response to abiotic stress. ASR family membersare highly conserved in plant evolution and contain ABA/WBS domains. ASR was first identifiedand characterized in tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.). Subsequently, the ASR gene has beenreported in many plant species, extending from gymnosperms to monocots and dicots, but lacksorthologues in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). The promoter regions of ASR genes in most speciescontain light-responsive elements, phytohormone-responsive elements, and abiotic stress-responsiveelements. In addition, ASR genes can respond to biotic stresses via regulating the expression ofdefense genes in various plants. This review comprehensively summarizes the evolutionary history,gene and protein structures, and functions of the ASR gene family members in plant responses to saltstress, low temperature stress, pathogen stress, drought stress, and metal ions, which will providevaluable references for breeding high-yielding and stress-resistant plant varieties
