Overexpressing a NAM, ATAF, and CUC (NAC) transcription factor enhances drought resistance and salt tolerance in rice

Drought and salinity are major abiotic stresses to crop production. Here, we show that overexpression of stress responsive gene SNAC1 ( STRESS-RESPONSIVE NAC 1 ) significantly enhances drought resistance in transgenic rice (22–34% higher seed setting than control) in the field under severe drought s...
