The NAC family of transcription factors (TFs) is recognized as a significant group within the plant kingdom, contributing crucially to managing growth and development processes in plants, as well as to their response and adaptation to various environmental stressors. Ammopiptanthus mongolicus, a temperate evergreen shrub renowned for its remarkable resilience to low temperatures and drought stress, presents an ideal subject for investigating the potential involvement of NAC TFs in stress response mechanisms. Here, the structure, evolution, and expression profiles of NAC family TFs were analyzed systematically, and a cold and osmotic stress-induced member, AmNAC24, was selected and functionally characterized. A total of 86 NAC genes were identified in A. mongolicus, and these were divided into 15 groups. Up to 48 and 8 NAC genes were generated by segmental duplication and tandem duplication, respectively, indicating that segmental duplication is a predominant mechanism in the expansion of the NAC gene family in A. mongolicus. A considerable amount of NAC genes, including AmNAC24, exhibited upregulation in response to cold and osmotic stress. This observation is in line with the detection of numerous cis-acting elements linked to abiotic stress response in the promoters of A. mongolicus NAC genes. Subcellular localization revealed the nuclear residence of the AmNAC24 protein, coupled with demonstrable transcriptional activation activity. AmNAC24 overexpression enhanced the tolerance of cold and osmotic stresses in Arabidopsis thaliana, possibly by maintaining ROS homeostasis. The present study provided essential data for understanding the biological functions of NAC TFs in plants. |
