NAC Transcription Factors in Drought and Salinity Tolerance

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Salt and Drought Stress Tolerance in Plants

Part of the book series: Signaling and Communication in Plants ((SIGCOMM))

Abstract

Water deficit and salinity are known as the top serious abiotic stresses affecting quality and productivity of many crop plants. Expanding knowledge in plant science and advances in plant biotechnology have brought more practical opportunities to improve plant tolerance capacity toward drought and/or salinity conditions in a number of major crops. Compared with manipulating a functional gene, manipulation of a regulatory gene like transcription factor-encoding gene could alter more plant characteristics, and these changes together can protect plants against either single or multiple stresses. The purpose of this chapter is to update the readers with the latest reports on the involvement of NAC (NAM, ATAF1/2, and CUC2) transcription factors in drought- and salinity-responsive regulation. Although most studies have focused on laboratory-scale experiments, the present findings are expected to provide an overview about the progress on our understanding of NAC transcription factors-associated mechanisms underlying plant responses to drought and salinity, as well as to evaluate the potential applications of the recently characterized NAC transcription factors in development of transgenic plants with improved tolerance to water scarcity and/or salinity.
