Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: IbNAC1
• Gene Name: NAC transcription factor 1
• Genome:
• Species: Ipomoea batatas

Functional Descriptions:

• IbNAC1 was constitutively expressed in root tissues and was induced earlier than sporamin following the wounding of leaves.
• IbNAC1 is constitutively expressed in root and tuber and responds earlier than sporamin in sweet potato leaves upon wounding.
• These results demonstrate that IbNAC1, as well as sporamin, are activated by wounding signals, with both systemic and local responses.
• IbNAC1 reduced growth of the larvae and decreased insect feeding due to the high accumulation of TPI resulting from the enhanced sporamin expression in sweet potato.
• We assumed that the effect of IbNAC1 was simultaneously associated with a reduced antioxidant potential upon wounding to activate JA-mediated ROS defense in sweet potato.
