Abstract:NAC proteins constitute one of the largest plant-specific transcription factor (TF) families and play significant roles in plant growth and development. In the present study, three TaNAC020 homoeologous genes located on chromosomes 7A, 7B, and 7D were isolated from wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). TaNAC020s were predominantly expressed in developing grains. The developed transgenic rice lines for TaNAC020-B showed higher starch density and lower amylose contents than those of the wild type (WT). Sequence polymorp… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
