Transcription factors (TFs) regulate gene expression by binding to specific sequences on
DNA through their DNA-binding domain (DBD), a universal process. This update conveys …

The NAC (for NO APICAL MERISTEM [NAM], Arabidopsis TRANSCRIPTION ACTIVATOR
FACTOR [ATAF] and CUPSHAPED COTYLEDON [CUC]) proteins are one of the largest …

Plant‐specific NAC transcription factors (TFs) evolve during the transition from aquatic to
terrestrial plant life and are amplified to become one of the biggest TF families. This is …

TFs (transcription factors) are modular proteins minimally containing a DBD (DNA-binding
domain) and a TRD (transcription regulatory domain). NAC [for NAM (no apical meristem) …

Abstract NAC (NAM/ATAF/CUC) proteins are one of the largest groups of transcription
factors in plants. Although many NAC proteins based on Arabidopsis and rice genomes …

Senescence is an integrative final stage of plant development that is governed by internal
and external cues. The NAM, ATAF1/2, CUC2 (NAC) transcription factor (TF) family is …

factors.•NAC TFs act as key regulators in leaf senescence.•Structural features of NAC TFs …

Abstract Plant‐specific NAM/ATAF/CUC (NAC) transcription factors (TFs) have recently
received considerable attention due to their significant roles in plant development and stress …

Plants have evolved several molecular mechanisms to cope with biotic and abiotic stresses.
Successful adaptation to stress is regulated through the activation or repression of the …

NAC proteins constitute one of the largest families of plant-specific transcription factors, and
the family is present in a wide range of land plants. Here, we summarize the biological and …
