Since the mass of the top quark is close to the electroweak symmetry breaking scale, it may play some role in the electroweak symmetry breaking. In this talk, I will discuss a few such models. Furthermore, since bottom quark is the weak isospin partner of the top quark, its interaction to the electroweak breaking sector can be significantly different from what the Standard Model predicts. I will discuss its consequence at high energy colliders.
