NAC58 — Triticum aestivum

Summary

TRAESCS3A02G162900, also known as NAC58 or NAM-B1, encodes a NAC domain-containing protein that localises to the nucleus and binds DNA. In bread wheat on chromosome 3A, this gene is associated with zinc accumulation, grain mineral content, and senescence rate. It has been connected to grain iron, zinc, and protein content, as well as leaf senescence, grain weight, and grain yield. Annotated biological processes include system and reproductive structure development, anther and pollen development, post-embryonic development, ABA signalling, and activation of the salinity response. Studies of related genes in other species link the NAC family to leaf senescence rate and seed or grain size.
