Description The plant-specific NAC (NAM, ATAF1,2 and CUC2) proteins constitute a major transcription factor family renowned for their roles in several developmental
programs. Despite their highly conserved DNA-binding
domains, their remarkable diversification across plants
reflects their numerous functions. Lately, they have received much attention as regulators in various stress
signaling pathways which may include interplay of phytohormones. This review summarizes the recent prog-
ress in research on NACs highlighting the proteins’
potential for engineering stress tolerance against various abiotic and biotic challenges. We discuss regulatory
components and targets of NAC proteins in the context
of their prospective role for crop improvement strategies
via biotechnological intervention.
