Information
- Symbol: OsNAC17
- MSU: LOC_Os03g21030
- RAPdb: Os03g0327100
Publication
- Rice NAC17 transcription factor enhances drought tolerance by modulating lignin accumulation., 2022, Plant Sci.
Genbank accession number
Key message
- OsNAC17 is localized to the nucleus, and its expression was significantly induced under drought conditions
- Together, our results show that OsNAC17 contributes to drought tolerance through lignin biosynthesis in rice
- Further investigation revealed that OsNAC17 positively regulates several lignin biosynthetic genes and promotes lignin accumulation in leaves and roots
- A transactivation assay in yeast revealed that the OsNAC17 is a transcriptional activator, harboring an activation domain in the C-terminal region
