Comprehensive Analysis of NAC Transcription Factors Reveals Their Evolution in Malvales and Functional Characterization of AsNAC019 and AsNAC098 in Aquilaria sinensis.

ABSTRACT: NAC is a class of plant-specific transcription factors that are widely involved in the growth, development and (a)biotic stress response of plants. However, their molecular evolution has not been extensively studied in Malvales, especially in Aquilaria sinensis, a commercial and horticultural crop that produces an aromatic resin named agarwood. In this study, 1502 members of the NAC gene family were identified from the genomes of nine species from Malvales and three model plants. The macroevolutionary analysis revealed that whole genome duplication (WGD) and dispersed duplication (DSD) have shaped the current architectural structure of NAC gene families in Malvales plants. Then, 111 NAC genes were systemically characterized in A. sinensis. The phyl
