Drought resistance of tobacco overexpressing the AfNAC1 gene of Amorpha fruticosa Linn.

ABSTRACT: Plants are often adversely affected by abiotic stresses such as drought, low temperature, and salinity during growth, and plant NAC-like transcription factors are involved in regulating growth and developmental processes in response to stresses such as drought and salinity. In this study, to investigate the function of AfNAC1, a co-expression network of AfNAC1 genes was constructed using gene expression data from the Chinese legume deciduous shrub, Amorpha fruticosa Linn. A 576 bp NAC transcription factor (AfNAC1 gene, MN180266) encoding 191 amino acids was isolated from Amorpha fruticosa seedlings by RT-PCR. qRT-PCR showed that the AfNAC1 gene was expressed in the roots, stems, leaves, and flowers of Amorpha fruticosa. However, drought stre
