NAC58 — Triticum aestivum

Summary

TRAESCS5B02G142100, also known as TaNAC131 or NAC58, encodes a NAC domain-containing protein localized to the nucleus. This bread wheat gene on chromosome 5B is associated with system and reproductive structure development, anther and lateral root development, fruit ripening, mucilage extrusion from the seed coat, response to desiccation, response to brassinosteroid, response to cadmium, and stomatal closure. It is also associated with yield traits, grain protein content, seed size, germination rate, seminal root length, coleoptile length, leaf chlorophyll content, net photosynthetic rate, water use efficiency, and tolerance to salinity, heat, and stripe rust. Related genes in other species are linked to ethylene, salicylic acid, and jasmonate signaling, as well as blast disease resistance.
