Genome-wide identification, tissue expression pattern, and salt stress response analysis of the NAC gene family in Thinopyrum elongatum.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The NAC (NAM, ATAF1/2, and CUC2) gene family plays a critical role in regulating plant growth, developmental processes, and stress response mechanisms. While NAC genes have been systematically characterized in multiple plant species, this study focused on genome-wide identification of NAC family members in Thinopyrum elongatum (designated as TeNACs) through integrated bioinformatics approaches. Comprehensive analyses were conducted to determine the physicochemical characteristics, conserved motifs, gene structure, phylogenetic relationships, chromosomal collinearity, and expression profiles of the identified TeNACs. This multi-dimensional characterization provides fundamental insights into the structural and functional diversity of NAC transcription factors in Th. elonga
