NST3 — Arabidopsis thaliana

Summary

AT1G32770 (NST3, also known as SND1 or ANAC012) in Arabidopsis thaliana encodes a NAC domain-containing transcription factor that localises to the nucleus and binds sequence-specific DNA. This gene is associated with secondary cell wall formation, thickening and biogenesis, as well as cell wall modification, xylan and cellulose anabolism, and phenylpropanoid metabolism. NST3 has been linked to primary and secondary growth, transdifferentiation, fruit dehiscence, and gibberellic acid homeostasis. Traits associated with NST3 include vascular bundle number, stem elongation, silique fruit morphology, leaf number, root morphology, mannose content, turgor pressure, anthocyanin content, and salt stress tolerance. Related genes in other species are linked to stem strength, lignin biosynthesis, and stem diameter.
