Plants produce a large variety of secondary metabolites including alkaloids, glucosinolates, terpenoids and phenylpropanoids. These compounds play key roles in plant-environment interactions and many of them have pharmacological activity in humans. Jasmonates (JAs) are plant hormones which induce biosynthesis of many secondary metabolites. JAs-responsive transcription factors (TFs) that regulate the JAs-induced accumulation of secondary metabolites belong to different families including AP2/ERF, bHLH, MYB and WRKY. Here, we give an overview of the types and functions of TFs that have been identified in JAs-induced secondary metabolite biosynthesis, and highlight their similarities and differences in regulating various biosynthetic pathways. We review major recent developments regarding JAs-responsive TFs mediating secondary metabolite biosynthesis, and provide suggestions for further studies.
植物产生大量的次生代谢产物，包括生物碱、硫代葡萄糖苷、萜类化合物和苯丙烷类化合物。这些化合物在植物与环境的相互作用中起着关键作用，其中许多在人类中具有药理活性。茉莉酸（JAs）是诱导许多次生代谢产物生物合成的植物激素。调节 JAs 诱导的次生代谢产物积累的 JAs 响应转录因子（TFs）属于不同的家族，包括 AP2/ERF、bHLH、MYB 和 WRKY。在这里，我们概述了在 JAs 诱导的次生代谢物生物合成中鉴定出的 TFs 的类型和功能，并强调了它们在调节各种生物合成途径中的相似性和差异。我们回顾了关于介导次生代谢物生物合成的 JAs 响应 TFs 的最新主要进展，并为进一步的研究提供了建议。
