- Title
NAC Transcription Factor for Flooding: SHYG Helps Plants Keep Their Leaves in the Air.
- Authors
Hofmann, Nancy R.
- Abstract
This article from the Plant Cell journal discusses the mechanism by which plants are able to keep their leaves above water during flooding. The study focuses on a NAC transcription factor called SHYG, which is responsible for regulating the growth of the petiole in response to flooding. The researchers found that SHYG is induced by waterlogging and activates the ethylene biosynthesis gene ACO5, which in turn promotes hyponastic growth. This research provides valuable insights into how plants adapt to flooding and highlights the role of NAC transcription factors in stress responses.
