Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: TaNAC2-5A
• Gene Name: NAC domain transcription factor
• Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• The Nitrate-Inducible NAC Transcription Factor TaNAC2-5A Controls Nitrate Response and Increases Wheat Yield.
• TaNAC2-5A-overexpressing transgenic wheat lines had higher grain yield and higher nitrogen accumulation in aerial parts and allocated more nitrogen in grains in a field experiment.
• TaNAC2-5A is involved in nitrate signaling and show that it is an exciting gene resource for breeding crops with more efficient use of fertilizer.
• Overexpression of TaNAC2-5A Promotes Root and Shoot Growth and Increases Shoot N Accumulation in Wheat Seedlings.
• A wheat nitrate-inducible NAC transcription factor, TaNAC2, plays a critical role in promoting crop growth and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), and now its role in seed vigour is revealed. A TaNAC2 regulated gene was identified that is a NRT2-type nitrate transporter TaNRT2.5 with a key role in seed vigour.
