An outline of the induction of various inducible genes involving abiotic stress response pathways and mechanisms of DREB-regulated abiotic stress tolerance in transgenic plants. Superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione-S-transferases (GSTs), pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthase (P5CS), choline monooxygenase (CMO), betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH), sorbitol-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (S6PDH), catalase (CAT), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), calcium-dependent protein kinase (CDPK), glutathione reductase (GR), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR), monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR), cold-regulated (COR), dehydrin (DHN), late embryogenesis abundant (LEA), antifreeze protein (AFP), fatty acid desaturase (FAD), basic leucine zipper domain (bZIP), myelocytomatosis related proteins (MYC), myelocytomatosis related proteins (MYB) and heat shock protein (HSP)
