NAC (NA M, A TA F1, A TA F2和CUC2)转录因子是植物特有的一类转录因子,在多种陆生植物基因组中已经有超过100个成员被发现和鉴定,是植物基因组中最大的转录因子家族之一。植物NAC转录因子具有多种功能,在植物生长发育、逆境胁迫应答和激素信号转导等过程中具有重要作用。本文就植物NAC转录因子的基本结构特征和生物学功能的研究新进展进行综述。
The Latest Progresses on Plant NAC Transcription Factors Function
NAC (NA M, A TA F1, A TA F2 and CUC2) family proteins are the plant-specific transcription factors which are the largest families, and have more than a hundred members in plant. The plant NAC transcription factors have many functions and play important roles in multiple biological processes such as plant development, response to various kinds of stresses, hormonal signal transduction and so on. In here, the progress of the plant NAC transcription factors basic structure and function are reviewed.
