NAC5 — Glycine max

Summary

GmNAC5 (GLYMA_04G249000V4) on soybean chromosome 4 encodes a NAC-domain transcription factor with sequence-specific DNA binding, transcription cis-regulatory region binding, and protein homodimerization activity. It localizes to the nucleus and is associated with abscission, anther and seed development, seed germination, reproductive structure and system development, cellular homeostasis, hypersensitivity, systemic acquired resistance, regulation of defence response to fungi, response to salt, activation of salinity response, cellular response to hypoxia, and downregulation of abscisic acid-mediated signaling. The gene is linked to seed size, hydrogen peroxide content, and salt tolerance. Related genes in other species are associated with drought resistance, leaf senescence, pathogen resistance, salt stress response, thermomorphogenesis, and brassinosteroid catabolism.
