This review provides a comprehensive, research-level overview of the bZIP transcription factor signaling pathway in plants under salinity stress. It discusses the role of ABA-dependent bZIPs (AREB/ABFs), their regulation by SnRK2 kinases, and the transcriptional control of salt-responsive genes. Furthermore, it includes an analysis of pathway cross-talk with DREB, NAC, MYB, and SOS signaling, post-translational regulation of bZIP proteins, and recent advances in engineering salt-tolerant crops using bZIP genes.
