The NAC Transcription Factor PgNAC41-2 Gene Involved in the Regulation of Ginsenoside Biosynthesis in Panax ginseng.

ABSTRACT: Ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) is a perennial herb of the Araliaceae family, a traditional and valuable Chinese herb in China. The main active component of ginseng is ginsenoside. The NAC transcription factors belong to a large family of plant-specific transcription factors, which are involved in growth and development, stress response and secondary metabolism. In this study, we mapped the NAC gene family on 24 pairs of ginseng chromosomes and found numerous gene replications in the genome. The NAC gene PgNAC41-2, found to be highly related to ginsenoside synthesis, was specifically screened. The phylogeny and expression pattern of the PgNAC41-2 gene were analyzed, along with the derived protein sequence, and a structure model was generated. Furthermo
